Delicious Irony...

I see that Brent Bozell and his band of TV Nazis (a.k.a. The Parents
Television Council) have their panties all in a bunch over the Carl's Jr.
Paris Hilton ad in which she is washes her SUV in skimpy attire whilst
munching on a CJ "Six-Dollar Burger". Out of purely scientific interest,
I watched the potentially offensive ("Think of the CHILDREN!") spot
on the Carl's website. Big deal. You see more on televised beach volleyball
games. The irony of which I speak is that while these no-good do-gooders
don't want to pollute the virgin eyes of their undoubtedly righteous
and heaven-bound children, they don't seem to care about the mass
marketing of another zillion-calorie megaburger. According to the CJ
website, here's the "nutritional" breakdown for the aforementioned
burger:

Total Calories: 960
Carbohydrates: 61g
Protein: 38g
Fat: 62g
Saturated Fat: 25g
Cholesterol: 135mg
Sodium: 1690mg

Now that's obscene. More here: http://www.carlsjr.com/home
