So when I saw the news this week about how <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/cke-restaurants-inc/ckr/nys">CKE Restaurants</a> (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/cke-restaurants-inc/ckr/nys">CKR</a>) restaurants, Hardee's and Carl's Jr., have agreed to start purchasing a very small percentage of their pork and eggs from cage-free animals, I was wowed at the headlines.

Because of the very famous pin-up girls involved in the dispute. Paris Hilton is, after all, famous for her extremely sexy Carl's Jr. ads (I'd venture to say they are the pinnacle of her sordid career). Alicia Silverstone has made headlines with her <a href="http://www.peta.org/feat/alicia_psa/index.asp?c=petaalcstnpsaggl&amp;gclid=CNfulJjg5o4CFR1PhgodsVd1Kw#null">racy PETA ads</a> that were pulled off the air thanks to their nearly-naked nature. So in the cage match between Paris Hilton and Alicia Silverstone, I could have called it: smart Alicia whooped Paris' lingerie-clad booty with a (slightly happier) hen.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/09/28/cage-match-how-alicia-silverstone-whooped-paris-hilton-with-a-h/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Cage match: How Alicia Silverstone whooped Paris Hilton with a hen</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/09/28/cage-match-how-alicia-silverstone-whooped-paris-hilton-with-a-h/">Cage match: How Alicia Silverstone whooped Paris Hilton with a hen</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 28 Sep 2007 15:18:00 EST.
