Boycotting Carls Jr.

Aug 30, 2007 14:36

A letter I just sent to Carl's Jrs (CKE Restaurants) via their comment form.

I am finally moved to tell your company that your latest "Flat Buns" commercial is so offensive to me, and to my family, that we will never eat at your restaurants again. Yes, this is a boycott ( Read more... )

opinion, food, "bad seller", personal

Yep Really Tired of being made fun of! ladyaubergine August 30 2007, 22:30:42 UTC

I have no ass. I am assless, I admit it and make my own fun out of it. However? I too have a sense of humor and I found this ad to well it just fell flat.

I stopped eating at Carl's Jr, because I did not like many of their ads in the past, so I will send out messages to friends to check out the ad and see if it bothers them enough to make another joint thier joint.

So? DId you take any pics at Costume College?

Send me a link if you did!

I have a large ass that I rather like. But I did not like the ad in how it obviously made the teacher a sex object, or sexless object, or assless object. The point was she became an object for their flat buns tasteless ad.

And then they stuck it on a kids network showing cartoons! I really don't need my son looking at his teacher as a woman whose behind is a food/flat object. Not to mention I really dislike rap. So, that on top of my dislike of the Hilton/car ad just sent me over the limit of tolerance for bad commercials and especially Carl's Jr.

As to Costume College photos, yep, here's the link.

I expected ny sister to be offended by them, but she's not. I find that weird.

I've pretty much been against CJ since they decided to try to make sloppy, rushed work a "food fashion statement." I haven't been please with their advertizing for a while now.

Your sister also doesn't have kids of her own to worry about what THEY are seeing.

You think the commercials are bad... the Patty Melt is a monster all of its own.

Something I've now thought of is that complaing to CJ may not be the direction you really want to go. You may want to think about contacting the network that had the bad judgement to put such a commercial on during hours when small, impressionable Smalls might be watching.

Thank you for sharing that. If only they would just yank the whole thing off the air.
