Over the Top Bad

If you're on the West Coast, you may have seen the incredibly inappropriate Carl's Jr. commercial featuring Paris Hilton. I can't imagine that the founder of Carl's Jr., Carl Karcher, is very happy about it given his past support of socially conservative causes in California like Prop. 22 (which defines marriage as being between one man and one woman) and the fact that his son, Jermone, is a longtime Catholic priest in Orange County.

Since Mr. Karcher is a fairly elderly man (probably in his late 80's) I'm left to wonder if he even has any direct control over the company he founded anymore.
