Weird new Carl's Jr. ad features Jenny McCarthy laughing alone with salad


Apparently the point of this ad is that you're supposed to be focussed on model, horrible writer, and vaccine-denier Jenny McCarthy's ample cleavage in this ad:


I don't know about you, but I was more distracted by how completely off-the-rails annoying this woman is. 

There's a making-of video as well:


Don't you love it when 72andSunny CD Mick DiMaria gushes about how Ms. McCarthy is "still... amazingly beautiful" at 40? (I guess women are supposed to look not-beautiful at that age?)

Burger Business reports, "Last time Carl’s Jr. promoted salads its aim was to attract a broader audience than its traditional 'young, hungry guys' customer base. No doubt that’s the hope again. In a tight, low-growth market, every customer counts."

Good luck widening your demographic with this stuff, guys.

(In case you're unaware, "Women laughing alone with salad" is a thing in stock photography.)

May the vaccinations be with you. Always.

When I was a kid, and Star Wars was still shiny and new, Lucasfilm lent out the cheaper characters for TV Public Service Announcements against drunk driving and smoking.

This doctor's office poster, however, just seen on Reddit, is new to me:


It's obviously an old one, but with the anti-vaccination movement and the renaissance of measles, perhaps it's time for a sequel.
