Padma Lakshmi has a new Hardee’s commercial. Padma recently filmed a rather sexual Hardee’s commercial advertising the Hardee’s Bacon Western Thickburger. In the commercial Lakshmi sits on an apartment stoop and shovels a burger down her throat, talking about her “love affair” with food. Didn’t Paris Hilton film a sexually provocative Carl’s Jr. commercial not too long back? What is it with these burger joints? Not to mention we doubt Paris OR Padma ever touch the stuff.
more photos after the hop…
We don’t watch Top Chef, but learned when doing a little research on Padma that she was brought up a vegetarian. Hm. Great choice for a Bacon Western Thickurger spokesperson, Hardees! Personally, we hate how these unhealthy foods are glamourized. That burger probably has more fat and calories than one is supposed to consume in an entire week.

I think Hardees needs to rethink this ad. It’s going to hurt them more in the long run. People are really tired of being treated as if we are such morons we will watch anything like a zombie or that we are all so sex starved we can get turned on by their stupid attempt at porn ads. I personally think the actress may be a beautiful woman, but she looks totally stupid making out with a burger. Hardees, get a clue and put on a decent commercial!
DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!!!!
This is “again” is a dedgration of women with sexual explotitations that is offensive to me as a woman. I despise watching it, and share my disgust with my family and friends. If you need to sell a “hamburger” by demeaning women, I cannot support your product or your advertising agency. I have complained before and you did change the add. Why are you so desparate for $$$$, the crises our world., and a reflection of greed at all costs. Sex is not the vehicle for selling your product, unless you believe what you say about “a piece of meat”. I am a woman and I am “more than a piece of meat”. Those who can afford your product, are not the “wealthy”. You play on the emotions of those who need to eat, often cannot choose. You have reached the “lowest of low” to sell a product. I totally resent your approach to being a suppiler of food for the hungry, which is affordable, but not to those who could appreciate your service. We need to feed those on low incomes, which your sevice provides, but not at the expense of women.
For that I am very saddened and sorry!
I am so sick of seeing this kind of stuff on t.v. I will not support Hardees any longer. It is appauling to be watching t.v. with your family and this crap comes on. Even if I didn’t have children I don’t want to see it. People that feel the need to see this can pay for it. I think it’s terrible that sex is thrown in our face all the time. I would like to know how men would feel if they had to constantly see georgous men on t.v. all the time being sex objects and most the women on t.v. were unattractive. It’s depressing, I’m an attractive woman but when watching t.v. with my husband I feel very insecure. Men don’t seem to realize most the women on t.v. have plastic surgery, hair extentions, fake eyelashes, and personal trainers. Plus if I spent 5 hours or more in hair and makeup I bet you woudn’t even recognize me. To say the least I’m completly ticked off and fed up with these kind of commertials.
I used to buy burgers from Hardee’s but will not anymore. Their recent commercials are disgusting and disrespectful to women. They have the girl sitting on the stoop, skirt hiked up, slobbering over a burger, licking her fingers…..you know this woman does not eat these thickburgers, if she did she wouldn’t look like that. Then they have the French maid commercials….very sexist….oh, then the one that I find most offensive…the guy who thinks it’s funny that he has 3 girlfriends & has to have the word cheater taken off his car, which was spray painted by one of his many girlfriends, while he eats a burger……if this is what the male population aspries to, it is a sad society we have.
The word ‘STUCKUP’ comes to mind here, listening to you ‘women’.
Here’s the problem, this woman is fine , you’re all jealous I can tell.
Now you whine like babies..
