Don Wildmon Mad about Hamburger Ads

Hardees is evil and unAmerican

Excerpt:

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.

BART says:
Oh please - what's more American than a girl washing a car in a bikini?
Ever been to a charity car wash in the summer?
You think those cute, thin, wet young girls are wearing burkas?

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."

BART says:
C'mon, it's a takeoff on Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher.'
Yell at them for being 20 years behind, like former comedian Dennis Miller, not for corrupting our yoots.

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 nasty, nasty ad is offensive and provided only for the purpose of educating our members).

Yeah, sure.
You gotta wonder why Donald Wildmon got in the porn-watching business.
He and his sex-is-bad sheep have like 150 VTRs going at all times.
They watch non-family shows, looking for something to bitch about.

Hey Donnie, this is the business you've chosen.
You watch porn all f-ing day AND you make money from it.

What makes you any different from Larry Flynt besides the fact
that Flynt's not a hypocrite who lies about liking to watch porn?

The flat buns ad made me want to stay away. I can't imagine enjoying any type of food which may remind me of creeps like that who may be eating nearby. But the teacher's body was wonderful even though my sense tells me she is far from being a teacher, the designer clothes were the giveaway.
Teachers cannot afford them.

I think the adv could simply be criticized as a crude attempt to capture a budding new group of consumers, but yuk, not any of us old ones.

TV ads as well as shows (not to mention their "news") caused me to get rid of my set late December 2000. I've seen no reason to review that decision.
