Burgers Everywhere!

Saturday, June 06, 2009

If you have browsed videos from Youtube's most popular video makers lately you would have noticed that many have been paid to sponsor a new Carl's Jr. burger. Audrina Patridge has been the next, set to star in a new burger commercial in America that will air near the end of the month.

I think it makes sense for actresses and models to advertise a burger on TV, but I think it's stupid that so many famous Youtubers were asked to do it. Some people don't even realise that they are being paid to advertise the burger and think it's some sort of coincidence. Youtube is becoming more commercial, I guess in a way it will only become more and more like TV with the amount of ads rising. I just think it's lame that the video makers are being lured in to making something they wouldn't normally do. I bet the company has managed to sell millions of their burgers with this idea... so we will probably see more similar campaigns in the future.
