Carl's Jr / Hardees Au Naturel / the all natural burger - (2015)

The 2015 Super Bowl XLIX begins with a predictable cliché from Carl's Jr, who like to combine eating greasy burgers with scantily clad women. To promote the new "all natural" burger that has no hormones and no additives, they have curvy Charlotte McKinney strutting her near naked stuff through a market, where strategically placed tomatoes and melons provide cheeky cover. The suggestive covering up make it seem as if Charlotte McKinney is nude the entire time, a visual gag as old as the art of cinema but still funny when done right. The only thing new about this ad is that Charlotte McKinney isn't Kate Upton. If we're honest, the models have become the only way to judge which year the Carl's Jr crap is from.

Come back super bowl 2002, all is forgiven. Remember $6 dollar burger spritz, Pie and Birthday?

This Carl's Jr ad is no different from any other Carl's Jr ad. Also how much you wanna bet Charlotte McKinney's "tomatoes" are anything but natural?

They sure bounce like they are natural.

I would like to know why you have to run a food commercial using half naked woman.I think its distasteful and I will never purchase food from you
