    Sorry, I was being rhetorical. "Paris" is a male name. Before the City, there was the man, the myth, the legend: Paris the prince of Troy and the slayer of Achilles during the Trojan War. In the most recent film version, he was played by Orlando Bloom... On second thought, maybe it is a girls name.

    Speedy,

    If you want to see how Carl's Jr. contributes to the dumbing-down of America, check out "Idiocracy", the Mike Judge film "brought to you by Carl's Jr."

    Bloom may be passed off as a zippy little elf, but he's no Paris. I always pictured Paris to be a formidable warrior standing broad and tall. Maybe that's why there's been an upsurge in new baby girls being named Paris, in the last few years :p

    Idiocracy was a pretty funny movie, although it just flew in & out of the theaters. Makes you wonder if we aren't already living that future...

    we have hardees up here in northern Michigan too. I love hardees and their student discount. great burgers for the price. the flat buns commercials are annoying.

    Yea Hardee's and Carl Jr. are the same thing. Some where in Ohio or Illinois is where it changes names. I don't care I like them both.
