Racy Paris Hilton ad crashes burger chain's site
Mon May 23, 4:27 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Web site touting Paris Hilton's racy television spot for burger chain Carl's Jr. crashed for four hours as Internet surfers raced to see the seductive swimsuit-clad socialite doused in suds.
The 30-second commercial, which features the hotel heiress washing a Bentley and chomping on Carl's Jr.'s Spicy BBQ Burger in a stringy black swimsuit, has generated media attention since hitting the TV airwaves last Thursday.
Carl's Jr., a unit of CKE Restaurants Inc. (NYSE:CKR - news) known for its male-focused ads and hefty burgers, at the same time launched a special Web site (http://www.spicyparis.com) featuring a special 60-second version of the ad.
A day later, the site crashed and was down for about four hours, the company said.
"It was a mixed blessing," Carl's Jr.'s executive vice president of marketing, Brad Haley, said in a statement. "It turned out that Paris was too hot for our servers."
It was not the first time Hilton, star of the Fox reality TV series "The Simple Life," has created a stir online. In late 2003, a homemade sex video of her with an ex-boyfriend spread rapidly via the Internet, making Hilton a household name.
Hilton's Carl's Jr. ad, created by Los Angeles-based Mendelsohn Zien Advertising LLC, will also be used to promote CKE's Hardee's hamburger chain. It will hit airwaves in those markets in mid-June.
Seriously, guys, Paris is not attractive, talented, OR interesting.

Actually, she is REPULSIVE and Disgusting. Everything about her is everything I stand AGAINST in life. The only way she could be more repulsive is if she owned oil (wells).

very much so... and after watching that video (about 234 times), she became that much hotter to me...
of course, the guy she was with is a total douche... what a weirdo... though maybe he was on something at the time, who knows
he was even more weird when he was introducing each clip. funny, I thought he appeared to be on something as well.
