Are You America’s Next Big Burger Skank?

parisHey ladies: Has the recession left your wallet emaciated? Need some extra money to do all those summertime things one longs for? Well, put your bikini on and get ready to fellate a hamburger, because this job listing , aptly titled “Hot Chicks Eating Burgers for Carl’s Jr. / Hardee’s,” could be your big break!

Yes, all you  need is a hot body, minimal conscience and a mouth (and hands, I guess), and you can be the next Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s burger skank… err, model. Just like Paris Hilton! And Padma Lakshmi! And the biggest star of all, ‘The Hills’ resident thespian, Audrina Patridge!!! The job requirements are simple: Strip, perform oral sex on a hamburger, get paid.

According to the job listing, “girls 18-30 years old” should offer up “videos of themselves eating a Carls Jr. or Hardee’s burger. Be sure to introduce yourself, tell us where you (or the girl) is from, and state your favorite Carl’s Jr. or Hardee’s burger before eating.” Informative and geographically correct. And better, yet, it’s a career booster! “This is a simple way to get your name and image out there. ” Yep, perfect grad school application or resume fodder!

Obviously I’m taking liberty with and I am FULLY AWARE this really isn’t any different than a beefcake type dude doing Gatorade commercials. I just find the best part of the situation is that fast food companies are using impossibly skinny model-type girls to advertise their fat bombs … and it’s working swell. USA! USA!

    I wouldn’t say that it “isn’t any different” from a beefcake dude in a Gatorade ad. If the Gatorade guy started dry-humping his bottle of G2, maybe… But even ads that play off men’s bodies – and there aren’t a ton of them (isn’t Gatorade’s current campaign just people playing pro sports?) – don’t tend to equate the idea of consuming their product with fucking the person in the commercial. There’s not a male equivalent of this type of thing in American advertising – no need to posit a hypothetical one for the sake of balance.

About Me

Oysters. Bone Marrow. Spanish hams. Fish tacos. Shanghai soup dumplings. Sea urchin. Summer tomatoes still warm from the sun. There, my favorite foods are out of the way. To cut to the chase, food is in my genes. My father, grandfather and great grandfather were butchers. I've cooked for fun and pay since I can remember, helping out at my dad's catering company/butcher shop and eventually the catering wing of Zagat's highest-rated restaurant in the country (you've never heard of it). Why am I not a chef or caterer? I'm just too much of a pansy. I didn't want the hours/heat/instability to ruin my love for cooking, so now it's pure recreation. Since ditching the chef idea, I've written for many major news networks and magazines, spanning everything from a blood-soaked Marine invasion into Fallujah to Britney Spears' underwear (lack of, actually) to properly sourcing pork. I hope to share the deliciousness of life with you. Also, pancakes suck.
