The newest commercial promoting the "All-Natural-Burger" at Carl's Jr. may make some mouths water, but not necessarily because of the food that's being shown.

The Carl's Jr. ad is set to air during the Super Bowl this year, but as of now, will only be shown to those watching in the western states, as it has been banned elsewhere. Controversy is swarming around the newest commercial, but just how bad is it that it has come down to this?

The commercial features what looks to be a nude woman walking down the street while various foods cover up her body parts, but at the end is shown wearing a skimpy bikini. It is aiming to promote the new menu item, a healthier burger option featuring grass-fed, free-range beef that has no added hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. The point of her being nude, is that she is "au-naturale," just like the burger, which is "all-natural."

Sure, the commercial is definitely a bit scandalous, but what's the difference between this and other risqué ads, such as one for Victoria's Secret, that may also be shown during this time, and essentially bare the same amount of skin, if not more?

It could be that the imaging in the commercial (a naked woman), paired with the actual words that are spoken (all-natural), leads the mind to more offensive thoughts. However, American TV is no stranger to the over-sexualization of women, so for half of the country to ban playing the ad during the game seems a bit extreme.

What are you thoughts about the Carl's Jr. ad? Is the burger commercial going too far, or are the eastern states taking it way too seriously? Watch it now and decide for yourself.
