Carl's Jr/Hardee's - A sewer runs through it
Update:
Hardee's/Carl's Jr./CKE – CKE has refused to remove their recent ads. CKE's public relations manager Jenna Petroff states that the ad's reference to genitalia constitute "a creative approach" to advertising, and that the commercials "appeal to and amuse" their intended audience.
Updates are helpful to know who to support and who not to. We do "vote with our wallet!"
___________________________________________________________
Hardee's and Carl's Jr. (CKE Restaurants) will never learn. They are back at it again with several more disgusting ads.
Though this time Hardees ad isn't visually explicit, the words and innuendo are loaded with s-xual nuance. It features their new "Biscuit holes."
In the ad, various customers individually name them using such verbiage as B holes, A holes, dingle balls, and biscatles (as in testicles).
Sister company, Carl's Jr., has just launched its newest in a series of raunchy s-x-laden ads.
In review:
(1) Hardee's is a hamburger business catering to family yet they
consistently have used s-x to try to sell its product.
(2) In 2003, Hardee's (Carl's Jr.) featured Hugh Hefner as a poster celebrity.
(3) Hardee's also used an er-tic ad featuring a mechanical bull and a scantily clad female.
(4) In 2005, Hardee's used a pornographic ad featuring Paris Hilton exerting sleazy movements to market hamburgers at their "family" restaurants.
