Hardees / Carl's Jr. hit new lows with ads

Ask your local TV station(s) to stop or refuse the ads

CKE Restaurants, Inc. (Hardees/Carl's Jr.) is hitting new lows in their latest round of television commercials. After offending families with Paris Hilton and Hugh Hefner-driven ads over the past few years, the hamburger chain is taking its history of sleaze marketing to a new level.

One of the latest ads, now on national television, depicts a sexualized female teacher in a high school classroom doing a stripper-style dance on top of her desk, while male students do a rap song about her "flat buns."

In another ad, a scantly-clad woman gyrates to a countdown of things she wants a man to do to her. All the time, she is eating a "patty melt" sandwich. Click here to see this ad (Warning: This ad is offensive and provided only for the purpose of educating our members).

	Take Action These ads are airing on local television stations across the nation. These stations are licensed by the FCC to "serve the public interest." http://www.capwiz.com/afanet/issues/a... target="_blank">Click here to send an e-mail to your local television station(s). Hardees and Carl's Jr. have a solid history of completely ignoring consumer complaints. However, you may wish to contact your local restaurant manager by finding the store's number in your local yellow pages.

I cannot imagine why anyone would eat there.  I haven't seen these new commercials but the old ones depicted men as rude pigs and it sounds like they are now depicting women as sluts.  The men as pigs ads were offensive enough to me that I would never consider spending a nickel with them. I am sure these new ones will put me through the roof.

They're disgusting!  First time I saw the new ones, I was like "Huh?  What the H*)) is this!"  It's really stupid.
