Carl's Jr. Turkey Burger Commercial Featuring Miss Turkey

We were mighty surprised Monday to hear that Carl's Jr. and its brother restaurant, Hardee's, were going the healthy route with a new turkey burger under 500 calories — but far less shocked to hear about its commercial campaign featuring a scantily clad Miss Turkey in a bikini.

Who Is the Star Wars Volkswagen Darth Vader

The Volkswagen ad called The Force was far and away my favorite spot from this weekend's Super Bowl. While I was hoping that little Darth would be a girl (there's a pink room!), the actor that played Darth Vader in the ad was unmasked earlier today on The Today Show in NYC.

The Appeal of Super Bowl Advertisements

We showed you sneak peeks of some of the upcoming ads, and it looks like Business Insider released more tantalizing previews. Since each 30-second Super Bowl ad spot costs around a hefty $3 million, companies dedicate a lot of energy and moolah to their commercials.

Huh. I may be sensitive because of those poor puppies that recently passed, but share your opinions of the clip in the comments below. What's Your Take: Upset by Boost Read more
