Following in the footsteps of Paris Hilton, Top Chef hostess, Padma Lakshmi, is the latest spokeswoman of Carl's Jr. Lakshmi appears in a new commercial that depicts her seductively eating a Western bacon hamburger.
Of the ad, Padma told People that it's "a beautiful love song to food. I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction." However, after watching a video of it, I'm not so sure if the words "beautiful" and "love song" are the best descriptors.
Check out the advertisement below and let me know what you think. Do you consider it sexy or trashy?
Buti
Lanvin
Chloﾎ
Who says money can't buy anything. What a sell out she is.
1Yuck, food porn!
2Um...since when is a burger considered sensual?
3Sellout.. i really really want a burger but am too lazy to do anything about it!
4Sexy — I love it!
5I think it's fun. They do this same thing with the commercial when it's men... show them licking stuff off the wrapper/hands, etc. so it's not like it's a double standard.
6the minute she pulled the skirt of her dress up her thighs - i know it was only one frame, but that was the moment it went from sexy to trashy for me.
7I think it looked good....made me want one of those burgers LOL
8Sex sells. Not a new concept in advertising.
9For some reason, I just don't think she eats Carl's Jr. food in real life...greasy, nasty burgers aren't my definition of "sexy" food.
10I want that dress. I just giggled through the whole thing. She looks really sexy though. . . I think this commercial is pretty clean as CJ sensual commercials go. The one with girl riding the bull and Paris Hilton with the car, now those were trashy.
11I can't stand her for some reason.
12Did she really have to sit like that? C'mon!
13shes doing alot of ads lately...
14TRASHY. A step above the Paris Hilton ad, but still TRASHY.
Although, I'm prejudiced because I agree with sandy!
15Eh...I don't care.
16I watched it with the sound off and I thought it was sexy. Don't know if I'd feel the same if I heard any voice overs or cheesey music.
17Carl's jr has disgusting food and their commercials where the food is dripping all over their faces is a HUGE turn off. It is too bad she is promoting such unhealthy crap. Sexy? No way.
18Sexy.
19I can't imagine how this skinny ex-model can possibly promote a brand famous for its zillion calorie burgers. Oh wait, didn't Paris Hilton do an ad for them.
Ah, I see!
Cheers.
20DISGUSTING....!!
21that is all i have to say! bleuch...!! what a sellout!!
i dont think its sexy or trashy...i think it just looks gross. u cant make a greasy bacon burger look sexy
22She really gets on my nerves for some reason.
And I'm really not convinced she would eat
a Carl's Junior burger in real life. I don't buy it. Sell out! 
23that's almost slightly inappropriate don't you think?
24For some reason after seeing it a few times, i think its now kinda hot. She's so lovely.
25Anyone know what dress she is wearings, I love that dress!
its neither sexy nor trashy
26its padma (who is beautiful) eating a burger ... you can't pick apart a burger u have to bite into it and yes stuff falls out. No biggie, just another ad.
eww forget sexy and trashy, who licks sauce that drips on their foot and down their fingers like that. I think it's gross.
27kind of odd to me...
28Sad. Carls Jr commercials are terrible and I'm sorry she was able to justify her fee to herself.
29This was a great ad...there's nothing trashy about being sexy. Beautiful women sell products and I appreciate Carl's Junior's efforts to make the time in between car, dating, prescription, and weight-loss ads bearable.
30don’t know this blog writer but dude, Jake, you are right on target. Couldn’t agree with you more about the choice of Kelly choi. I went to Columbia with her. Choi PINED after JOSH KELLY now at espn. He dumped her for a gorgeous blonde, and Choi screamed at Elliott in the Columbia hallways. choi was a laughing stock at school and she then got hired for ONE month at NEWS 12 BRONX by Camilo Pombo. I saw Choi’s air checks then ( about 6 years ago) Man she Sucked! Choi is NO sincere soul. She is not 32 as wikipedia states and she slummed around NYC writing freelance after news 12 trying to make it some how before she begged Arick Wierson at NYC TV for a shot. PEOPLE at NYC TV (not management) do not think highly of CHOI. CHOI goes to these RED CARPET EVENTS in evening gowns TRYING BEGGING CRYING, “LOOK AT ME PLEASE I AM KELLY CHOI.” She has no purpose at these events and paparazzi friends of mine remark they take her pix because she just bares leg at the male photogs. How many wanna bet CHOI will crash and burn or just end up marrying a rich old geezer like JULIE CHEN OR WENDI DENG. Pathetic.
