Disgusting Commercials

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the new Hardee's commercial yesterday!! Do you know how embarrassing it is to be watching tv with your family and have to subject your children to a hamburger commercial that shows half naked women eating burgers and making reference to a 3 way. You people are SICK!! I don't know what kind of customers you are trying to target but it's DEFINITELY NOT family oriented ones! I will NEVER take my family to HARDEE'S again. What kind of disgusting people do you hire to work in advertising.. PERVERTS??

Hardee's Commercials

I will absolutely never eat at Hardee's again. The newest "3 way" commercial aired as my daughter and I were watching TV. That's something I NEVER want my child to see or hear. These commercials aren't cute, it's soft porn airing on television my CHILD is watching. It's a FOOD business not a strip club. If you're that desperate for customers you need to rethink how you're going about your advertising. Sure, men think it's "sexy" or "hot", but you won't be thinking that way when your child starts mimicking these commercials while eating a burger and stating she wants bacon so she can have her "3 way". End the commercials....it's disgusting.

Degrading women

I also will not be eating at Hardee's because of their offensive, degrading and vulgar commercials. I find them demeaning and degrading to women, they also give them false idea of who they should be.

Hardee's commercials

I do not eat at Hardees or Carl's burgers due to their tasteless, demeaning and degrading commercials which exploit women and turn them into sexual objects. It's unfortunate that Hardee's and Carl's believe that such lowbrow material is all their customers are interested in and that these companies have chosen to contribute to the problems that women face in society, including inequality, sexual objectification and being treated as nothing but mechanisms to be used for the sexual titillation of men, thus dehumanizing them in the process. The actions of these companies are apalling, inexcusable and abusive. I hope that women and men alike will boycott these companies to let them know that this will not be tolerated. I myself hope that they will go out of business,

Not one positive comment

While numbers may show an increase in burger sales which I would highly doubt was due to these ridiculous commercials, I am quite sure that you have lost loyal customers who otherwise would eat it your restaurant. As I read some of the comments I have yet to find a single positive comment. As for me and my family, we no longer eat at your restaurant. Enjoy your new customers but note that you have lost many loyal old customers. It seems to me that you would want both to continue to eat at your restaurant however with the offensive commercials you will continue to lose those of us who have higher standards.

Hardee's is disgusting.

Seeing these degrading commercials makes me so mad. I can't even sit on the couch with my family to watch a movie without seeing half naked girls bouncing around on the screen. THIS IS DISGUSTING.

Provocative commercials

I love the food at Hardee's and am saddened at the way they have chosen to sell food. The content of the commercials who cause a movie to be rated at minimum of pg 13. Why is okay to have this flashed between cartoons, family movies, and the news?? Please reconsider.

Hardee's Nasty Commercial

Dear Hardee's,
Because of your sinful, nasty, immature, brainless, tasteless, offensive, women-demeaning commercial, I will be boycotting your stores until your stupid marketing committee can get it together and produce something that is family friendly.

Sincerely,
Jamie

What an embarrassing way to sell burgers

Seriously not understanding why it takes showing naked ladies on t.v. to sell food. I'm tired of being vigilant trying to fast forward or turn the channel quickly so my family doesn't see this trash. Even my husband is made uncomfortable by this advertising. We are boycotting your restaurant until this ridiculous brand of marketing is discontinued.

Hardees commercials

I am outraged that Hardees feels they need to use half naked women to sell fast food. I will never go there again, nor will my family. The ad agency and Hardees management should be ashamed of themselves!

Disappointed

I just saw the Tex vs Mex commercial for the first time and I am once again disappointed in your choice of advertisement. I am 20 and watched it with my boyfriend and even he was enraged at the fact that you are using women's bodies to sell your food. You have lost both of our business and I hope you classy up your commercials soon.

Uncalled for nastiness

Who are you trying to appeal to? The general public, or 60-year-old perverse men??? It's pretty sad when I feel like I have to eye the tv when commercials come on just to make sure my kid doesn't see some skimpy-dressed woman soliciting a cheeseburger... You know, comedy sells just as well. It isn't necessary or appreciated to turn your commercials into porn-teasers. It's sick and annoying.

Hardee's Who's doing your advertising??? A pervert!

I'm so sick of explaining these disgusting and pointless commercials to my 11 yr old son and my 15 yr old daughter! Plz everyone put your complaints into www.fcc.org. Hopefully if there's enough they can pull the commercials. I will never eat at Hardee's and nether will about 20 other family members.

Home grown??

TV these days is ridiculous on degrading of women and what we have been through. The sad thing is women allow themselves to be degraded. The cycle is never broken because some women do not see self worth. I am 42 years old and I saw the girl in a bikini eating a burger and something to the regards of "homegrown". This made me feel uncomfortable. It was very distasteful of a cheap campaign in order to have better advertisement. I do not want little men growing up and thinking this is ok when they see the degrading of women. I am quite upset by this.

Degrading Hardee's Commercials

Every time I have seen a Hardee's commercial the past few years I have been in total shock and disgust for the poor taste and disregard for decency on TV during hours and on channels children may be watching. I just thought to google the topic and am quite happy that's many other Americans share my opinion. I will never again eat at Hardee's and will share the message with everyone I know. While many companies objectify the human body to sell their products, Hardee's takes it to a whole new vulgar level. Hardee's, Please change your advertising approach or watch as your empire crumbles! The American people have spoken and we don't buy it...literally!

ad strategy

Dear Hardees,

Please reconsider your advertisement in karachi and Lahore.We know what you know and we can see what you are trying to show.Thanks.

P.S avoid making such controversial and vulgur advertisement and stop advertising your buns like women's bums.
One more thing,this request has been sent by an average free mindset rather than conservative one.You need to look into this.I SURE HOPE THAT WHO-SO-EVER HAS DESIGNED THIS AD DOESN'T HAVE CHILDREN,IS THIS WHAT HIS PARENTS TEACH THEM?

Thankyou
