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.

should be in front of talented or interesting.

I'm going to have to agree with B on this one. There are plenty of other women I'd rather have seen doo that ad than Hilton.

I can't wait until her 15 minutes of fame are up and all the attention she craves disappears.

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).

As soon as she hits 30, she'll be done/replaced.

Let's just hope her pop-culture replacement isn't as horrible.....


I personally prefered the "Where's The Beef?" lady.

She's gross. She's looks like some crazy mutant cross of Rooster/chicken/human experiment that went horribly wrong.

he was even more weird when he was introducing each clip. funny, I thought he appeared to be on something as well.
