Paris Hilton and Carl Karcher

Over all this fuss about Paris hilton’s Carl’s Jr commercial, no one has focused on the hypocrisy of the whole thing.
Carl’s Jr. has sexualized their advertising for years. “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face”, “eat meat”, that one girl dripping "sauce" all over herself, the list goes on and on. And now we have the Paris Hilton commercial, which raises the stakes (and apparantly many flaccid penis', too, judging by the reaction). We’re not stupid, CJ. We get it. Sex sells hamburgers.
OH BUT WAIT! Carl’s Jr. is owned by Carl Karcher, a proudly Republican “family values” kinda guy who is notoriously anti-abortion and anti-gay. How exactly does he balance family values and the Paris Hilton commercial? Apparently money and publicity trumps values regardless of political affiliation. Can you say "hypocrite"? That's hot.
