Paris Hilton is showing her buns

Great ideas: 1) Have Paris Hilton star in a "spicy" video to sell spicy hamburgers to hormone charged young men. 2) Claim the video is "too hot" for TV and show it in only on the internet. 3) Include a pass-along link by which would-be enthralled viewers can alert their friends to this supposed soft-porn.

Poor execution: The "spicy" ad is lame. Paris Hilton looks like a marionette of herself. I've seen Al Gore move with more concupiscence. It's not spicy. It's not sexy. It's just dumb.

Clever ideas rarely overwhelm mediocre execution. Let's see.
