Padma Lakshmi Wants To Do It With A Hardee's Sandwich

Is basically what this new ad is saying:

Um, yuck. I love Padma as much as the next guy who loves Padma, but yuck. "It reminds me of being in high school, sneaking out before dinner to savor that sweet, spicy sauce"???? That is quite literally what she said. Which sweet, spicy sauce would that be Padma? Because I know it's not the sauce on the burger that you're pretending to fuck with your mouth, as that sauce was just invented for this new burger, which is why you are being paid what I hope is a lot of money to star in an advertisement for it. No, the sauce you are talking about is boy sauce, and that's gross. I should probably teach at D.E.U. (Double Entendres University, Tenured Professor in Overexplanation).

This ad was informative in one way, though. It's use of a shitty, low-budget M.I.A. rip-off, along with its continuation of the Hardee's spokeswoman-wants-to-rape-a-burger theme, helped to map out the economic structure of Padma Lakshmi to Paris Hilton and M.I.A., which is Padma Lakshmi = Paris Hilton < M.I.A. Accurate. (Via HuffPost.)

ugh. if she regularly snuck out before dinner to eat a hardees burger, i don't think she'd be so skinny.

also: 'i think i've tasted every flavor imaginable.' pretentious much?

That commercial reminds me of Bijou seductively eating a slice of pizza on 30 Rock last night.

I'd rather fuck that burger than Salman Rushdie.

That's effective marketing - Don Draper style. I'm a vegetarian with no clue about who that woman is, but she could almost get me to eat that burger. Not really, but sex sells.

Does agreeing with whatever Tom Colicchio just said read qualify you as a "culinary expert"?

That burger is totally not new. I hate to go all fast food phd on you guys, but the west coast equivalent of Hardees, Carls Jr., has been serving that burger for years. I didn't spend six years of my life in shitty food graduate school to just let that slide.

don’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.
