Hardee's demeaning advertising

Why is it that I, while watching the Olympics with my 14 year old grandson, have to suddenly be exposed without warning to such a demeaning and sexually charged commercial? Not only will you not have my business, I shall also complain to the shows, networks, and the FCC about the degrading advertising during prime time to which your corporation has subjected my family.

Hardees disgusting commercial

Hardees just opened in my town. After seeing the recent commercial I am ashamed to have it on our highway. The commercial is sexist and insulting to women and their children, I will not eat there and will encourage all my neighbors and friends to do the same.
Hardees needs to take this commercial off the air to save their reputation as a family fast food restaurant.
I am so disappointed. I don't believe McDonalds or Burger King would ever go to such a low point.

totally disgusting

Not that I was ever a big fan of unhealthy food at Hardees but they have lost all possibility of future business with their filthy, disgusting commercials that totally degrade women. If this is what it takes to sell their hamburgers then the hamburgers must be totally disgusting to heat. Any woman with any respect for themselves would not frequent your business!

Hardees commercials

It's a shame that Hardee's has to lower their standards to develop a marketing ploy to attract customers. I don't and will not take my business there.

I have a family and I'm having to monitor more and more of what's coming on tv and how to censor it. My question for Hardee's is.....for anyone of you who have a family....would YOU feel comfortable letting them watch commercials you helped create? Wouldn't you rather share that moment of what you created without shielding kids from it? How can they enjoy your talent if you can't let them see it because you were part of the creation of making soft porn for selling burgers??

Disgusting commercials

I am so appalled by Hardees commercials. We love their biscuits and ocassionally get other food there. The commercials were already stupid with people trying to bite a ridiculously tall burger that no one could bite. It borders on gluttony and just looks stupid. Now we have to see half naked women shoving an oversized burger in their face. I am so offended. Wake up Hardees, you are going to lose customers instead of bringing them in. I am seriously thinking of not going there any more. I am writing to the corporate office too, I suggest that everyone do the same!!

Three-way commercial

Hardees, you have had some tasteless commercials in the past but you have achieved a new low with your most recent commercial with the 3 near-naked women advertising your bacon cheeseburger. What made you think that was a good idea? How can we possibly raise girls to be strong women and how can we ever hope to move beyond women being objectified when you put this kind of commercial on the air? What kind of message are you sending to boys who see this commercial? Shame on you for this near pornographic advertisement. Whoever designed this ad campaign and whoever approved it should both be fired. My husband and I will never again eat at one of your establishments.

3 way burger

The 3 way burger commercial is the most inappropriate commercial I have ever seen and that is coming from someone who has seen every Cialis, Viagra, feminine hygiene product etc, etc, etc commerical there is. I am no prude, I watch Family Guy, The Simpsons, etc, etc, etc but this is unacceptable. Because of it, I will never eat at Hardee's again. I emailed them but they didn't care.....they said not everyone feels the way I do. Fair enough.

Lame commercials

So I live in New York and never ate at this place because there are none even close to where I live... so why am I seeing these stupid commercials when this place is nowhere in my area! I couldn't care less about their food that I've heard is crappy. By the way, showing half naked broads isn't going to get anybody to but your crap, that's not advertising. Example: seeing half naked guys won't get me to go out and buy some expensive perfume or something, so why would you think these dumb commercials would get anyone you buy your stuff? Lame and stupid.

Three way commercial

I have to say that the three way commercial is very inappropriate. I could not believe both the underlying and obvious message that Hardees has chosen to use to gain customers. I am not sure who is responsible for approving your commercials but I would suggest that they be replaced. Most Hardees that I visit employ mentally disadvantaged employees at least in Chesterfield Missouri and O'Fallon Illinois. these commercials represent nothing that I see when I go to Hardees. Maybe you should focus on what is the reality of your employees and customers upon entering your establishments. I am sure that those ideals and realities will go over much better than a sleazy commercial degrading women.

Hardee's commercials

I see that they have not changed since 1975. That's the year I had my first job, which was at Hardee's. I grew up in a small town, and jobs for teenagers were hard to come by. It was considered a perk if you worked for a national company, which had to pay the Federal minimum wage of $2.10/hour. My first day on the job, my boss pestered me to go out with him. He used to tell me "If you want to move up, you have to move down." One day he cornered me and ran his hand up my shirt. He was sweating. I ran out the back door and walked home (my mom had dropped me off at work.) I didn't tell anyone about it because I felt so much shame, and thought that people would think it was my fault. When I returned to work the next day, I was told I had been fired. I had worked there for 1 month.

To this day I associate Hardee's with that manager's fat jowls, too small shirt, and little pig eyes. I'm not surprised that they advertise with such a classless commercial. Hardee's has a culture of hate towards women, which was reflected in the manager's behavior towards me, and in the commercials they show on air.

Hardees commercials

Your commercials are about as tasteless as they come. What exactly are you trying to sell? I guess you hope that men are so stupid that they will eat your food just because you put slutty near naked women on tv. Guess what? You fail. There is no telling how many men I have overheard state that they would not eat at your establishment because of the way you degrade women. There are actually a lot of decent men out there. And it shows. In our town Hardees sells a lot of biscuits in the morning but after breakfast is over, your restaurant is dead. Hmmm. May be because you have nice clean breakfast commercials. Wake up idiots. You are putting yourself out of business!!!

Three Way commercial

As a woman and a mother of a daughter I am appalled at your choice in commercial material. You do not have to degrade women to try and sell hamburgers. As a matter of fact, I think your commercials have an adverse reaction. Even my husband used to love Hardee's, but even he is disgusted with your commercials & will no longer frequent your business. It's a shame that you will risk losing customers just to show perverse material that is completely inappropriate regardless of a person's age.

New Bacon Burger commercial

I have found Hardee's commercials disgusting, inappropriate, degrading, and embarrassing for some time now. There are many more family friendly was to sell an overpriced burger! We wonder why many young girls have no self respect and why many young men don't respect women. Presenting them as objects and making a commercial that's more fitting for a pornographic film is continually perpetuating the demise of our society. The most recent commercial depicting 3 women in their underwear provocatively preparing bacon has gone too far. Please remove it fron the air. What can we do to keep more commercials like this out of our sight?

Why?

All I want to know if WHY? Why does Hardees feel like they have to degrade women. I haven't eaten at a Hardees in more than 15 years and I will continue to boycott Hardees until they clean up their act with their commercials as well as their food (which is NOTHING to brag about). But really... just tell me WHY the need for the filthy commercials? If you are ONLY targeting 20 something year old men, then open a bar and have the girls in your commercials work in it. You are selling FOOD not sex.

Filthy Advertising

Not sure what the world is coming to! I did post comments on a different Hardee's site. Was so glad when my husband saw this site tonight. Now I don't feel like I'm alone in thinking the commercial is SICK. I will be boycotting Hardee's for their poor choice of advertising. God help this world that is falling fast with sick people.

nasty commercials

Please stop putting those filthy commercials on TV. It really is embarrassing to watch TV with your young children anymore. Hardees is probably the commercials with the least class I have seen in a very long time. Cant yas figure out funny or sweet subjects? The 3 half dressed ladies eating the bacon is truly embarrassing.

Hardee's is disgusting we need to draw the line

Hardee's commercial is ridiculously offensive!
It is horibal to think that something this immature, provocative, disgusting degrading, vulgar, and so unacceptable was allowed on t.v. What is our world coming to when soft core porn is used for a simple fast food commercial. It is sending a bad message especially for a younger viewers! To think anybody can turn on the TV and see something like this is totally thoughtless. I do not appreciate this. Having it be shoved down our throat like this... Im horrified that my child might see this commercial at some point.
VERY DISRESPECTFUL!!
I will never eat there, I bet their food is as distasteful as their commercial.
