Chains like Burger King and Hardees — the latter creatively promotes its Biscuit Holes — responded to inquiries, saying basically, sex sells.

Burger King responded to complaints over its ad in Singapore — for the BK Super Seven Incher depicting a woman about to orally receive all seven inches of the sandwich with the text "It'll blow your mind away" — by saying it:

…did not run in the U.S. or any other markets…and generated positive consumer sales.

While Hardees defended its "Name Our Holes" campaign by reinforcing our initial hunch that these holes are intended for the mouths of gay men by saying:

…intended to communicate the core message of our premium quality food to our target audience of Young, Hungry Guys.

<![CDATA[Sarah Haskins Explains The Sheer Evil Of Carl's Jr. Ads]]> The latest installment of Target: Women is Douchebaggery 101. Instead of a textbook, you'll be learning by watching commercials for Carl's Jr. For instance:

There's the one where the dude is can't take his eyes off a woman, and that woman is not the one he is with. Or the one where the guy uses some "passive-aggressive misdirection" on his ladyfriend. Or the one where the woman annoyingly nags the guy who is just trying to eat his giant, calorie laden sandwich. In this video, Sarah Haskins totally skewers Carl's Jr. while scoring points for epic use of the word "douche."
