Back in 2004, there was a silly controversy over Paris Hilton's "soft porn" cheeseburger commercial for the California-based Carls Jr. chain. The commercial showed America's favorite beloved bimbo in a bikini washing a Bentley while also eating a huge jalapeño cheesburger (and amazingly she fails to get the burger wet even as she gets everything else wet, including the lens of the camera.)
Carls Jr. used to have a whole SpicyParis.com web site with all sorts of collateral on it. However, this address now redirects you to SpicyBuffalo.com, where a totally new hawt blonde ( Maxim grrl Ashley Hartman) promotes a totally new sandwich. This may or may not have anything to do with the (slightly ironic) fact that Paris's current legal difficulties began when she got busted for drunk driving while en route to a rival burger joint, i.e., In-N-Out Burger.
The commercial itself is still on the internet, in the original 30-second version (as seen on TV) and an expanded 60-second version
