Hardee's, the fast-food hamburger chain, has reinvented itself as a guy's type of place. None of this girly girly emphasis on salads or yogurt or whatnot. (Or in Hardee's former life, fried chicken and roast beef.) Just ground beef and lots of it. Like how about the new double thickburger, which has 2/3 lb. of meat, 4 slices of cheese, 3 strips of bacon, mayo and a buttered bun. 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat? That's obscene.

Some also think that their new ad campaign is obscene. It features nubile women stuffing things into their mouths (fist, straws).

Also from Slate recently, a writer with an idea to help NBA fans to distract opponents' free throws. William
