Bite Your Tongue It's Better When It's Full of Ridiculously Retrograde Concepts: Voulez-Vous Coucher Avec Hardee's?
Posted by Tracy Moore on Thu, Aug 6, 2009 at 6:30 AM
By now, we know that Hardee's can put an ejaculatory spin on anything involving their latest line of grub. Well, step right up, 22-year-old stunted adolescent male--it just keeps getting better! The latest oh-oh-OH! offender: the new Hardee's French Dip Thickburger.
OK, so even a reviewer who typically likes Hardee's burgers said it tasted like water, salt and black food coloring. But the egregious ad campaign Hardee's cooked up to sell this Merdeburger is even more tasteless. Stereotypes include: regular maids are old and fat (OMG, like that is SO true, you guys), French maids are all totally babelicious smokin'-hot hotties (yea-UH), and everything French is just better. Wait, now I'm confused. Red-blooded meat-eating American douches like France again? I thought that country was, like, as gay as it gets.
But I digress. Hardee's isn't just content to offend us online, on TV and in radio spots. According to a press release, they're now sending "four gorgeous* French maids" (from France! who love sports! with names like Sophie, Antoinette, Gabrielle and Isabelle!) to ride around on Segways passing out coupons at key sportin' and drankin' events 'round town next week. Now, do they play the same kind of football in France they do in the good ole US of A? Who cares--did someone say "hot chicks feeding me"? Boing-g-g!
Anyhoo. Check out the clip above if you don't get my meaning. Only safe for work if your boss is cool with you "popping your toast" in your cubicle. (Hot dripping icing not included!)
Nashville stops and locations after the jump, mais oui.
* "Gorgeous" has in fact been universally defined, so you can be sure that no matter who you are, male or female, you'll agree aesthetically with Hardee's selection of meat--er, women.

Poor Hardees can't get a break, huh?
They're building one in Bellevue right now. The stunted adolescent male in me can't wait, I hear the whole staff is going to be smokin' hot french maids. ;)

I think it's more misplaced modesty, though I can't believe Hardee's backed off from a chance to slip in some tongue.
who cares. sex ain't evil, tracy, but it does sell. if you're dumb enough to think buying that burger will get you laid...then you deserve that shitty burger. aside from that, who cares if they use babes to sell their products. don't go gettin all feminist about it.
