pathectic and disgusting

I'm sitting on the couch watching shark week on discovery channel. Commercials come on and I could not believe the latest hardees and Carl Jr ad. All I could think was REALLY - YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! I cannot imagine how pathetic
you must be to actually put that on tv. If I wanted to watch porn I would pay for it. Tv stations shouldn't' be playing it. Just as
much their fault. Believe it or not most people agree
with me. Nobody should have to look at this crap, especially during daytime.
Saddest attempt I've ever seen to sell food (or was that sex? I'm confused) Anyway I will make a point to NEVER eat
at your restaurants again. SO SAD ... PATHETIC!!!!!!!!

Hardee's Commercial

I just saw the Hardees commercial with two women in swim suits on trucks. This has to be one of the most disgusting commercials I've see. I was watching TV with my 25 year old son and we both found it to be offensive. What on this side of the planet does that commercial have to do with a burger. This commercial is inappropriate at any time. I feel that you don't have the most appealing prices to begin with, but with this poor choice of marketing I will not continue to patronize the business. There are enough things in this world to negatively influence our children without a food commercial being one of them. Very disappointed!!

Hardees commercials

I have nothing original to say. I echo everything that has been said about how inappropriate your commercials are and this most recent Texas big truck wash with the soapy sex object is enough. It is not selling food it is promoting and selling pornography and is disgusting. It is totally unnecessary and thousands of other food service industries have become successful with their menu, quality of food and service. This is not a family restaurant and I can assure you another family will never spend our money with you.

disgusting soft porn commercial

My entire family and all my co workers are boycotting hardees until this commercial is gone. Thought this was a family restaurant? I don't want my kids eating at a restaurant that uses such absolute filth to advertise. Furthermore I thought advertising was suppose to draw in revenue not drive it away? Whoever approved this commercial you're trash . Hardees I'm done with you. You're obviously owned by a disgusting pig.

Porn commercials

Your commercials are disgusting. Why do you keep using porn as a way to sale your product. The two have no connection. What do you think more men are going to come to your restaurant just because you have nasty commercials. What is wrong with you people. I would think Hardees would be a family type restaurant but this looks more like a strip club than a place to buy food.

Hardee's commercial

I am joining the ranks of saying that your recent commercial is not appropriate. I know that the dollar signs are what generate your commercial, well, I'm here to tell you that if people stopped buying your products and let you know why they are doing it, things would change. I for one will not buy Hardee's products until you stop the horrendously inappropriate commercials.

Hardee's inappropriate commercial

I like Hardee's food. I do not like Hardee's recent commercial. It is degrading and not fit for viewing on family time TV. Hardee's, shame on you. Please show respect for your customers and yourselves and remove this commercial from TV.

Soft Porn Commercial

As a father, and organizational professional I am no prude, but I was appalled by your commercial using and objectifying scantily clad women to sell hamburgers. It was shown during prime time, when most children are watching and during football games, when young boys and adolescents would be watching. This is highly inappropriate, demonstrating extremely poor judgement on the part of your leadership. This choice cheapens your brand and demonstrates a high disregard for women. Do the right thing and pull the ads.

Hardees BBQ Commercial

Why am I being subjected to pornography during a football game? Why are my children and grandchildren being subjected to pornography during a football game? We turned to ABC to watch NFL football.....not view pornography! Are there no FCC rules and regulations that this type commercial is violating? I tuned to watch football. I didn't sign up to watch pornography. How dare Hardees to even make a commercial like this. I called Hardee's Corporate offices to complain and of course I had to leave a message. Left my name and phone number, told them what I wanted but bet they don't call me back. When maneuvering through their voice commands, guess what? The very FIRST option was....."For comments concerning our TV ads, punch 1." They know EXACTLY what they are doing and will not change. The only thing that will change these commercials is a decline in revenue. I will NEVER eat at a Hardees again......EVER! And if everyone else feels the same......then Bingo! I also understand this commercial (with Paris Hilton) was also show yesterday (Sunday) during the PGA Golf Tournament at Valhalla.

Offensive and disgusting commercials

The men and women involved in the making and airing of these commercials should be ashamed. What's wrong with this world? Sex does not sell burgers. It's gross.

Hardees

Shame on all involved with this commercial. ( Those who produced it, filmed it, acted in it, edited it, purchased it and aired it).Where does one begin to protest this? Certainly there are enough places where porn can be selected, if one so desires; but this absurd advertisement, for a hamburger, that is "beamed": into my home during the broadcast of a football game is not appropriate! It does not seem appropriate to be sent to anyone without warning. I want to know what I am purchasing or viewing and to be blindsided by this is disgusting. Where is the FCC? Do I complain to my cable company? Do I protest to the NFL or any other program owners? Who will take notice of this? Certainly not Hardees as one can say with a fair degree of certainty, that this pathetic corporation knew exactly what they were doing!

inappropriate ad

Why in the world does Hardees need to use inappropriate advertising to sell hamburgers? I, too, am disappointed that there has not been some restrictions set on what can be shown on channels that are meant to be family friendly. My TV is turned off when this ad comes on! I never thought that this kind of advertising would have been allowed on regular TV channels, and I never imagined that a restaurant that is considered a family restaurant would support, much less condone, what is intentionally meant to be pornographic in nature. Shame on Hardees and shame on those of us who find this inappropriate for not speaking up. I'll never give Hardees another thought in terms of considering this as a choice for a meal. So, as some would say, it's your choice as to whether you will watch, so my choice is to turn it off and to consider Hardees as off limits.

Family Programming

Shame on Hardees and NBC for showing that raunchy commercial during such shows as "American Ninja Warriors" and "America's Got Talent", which are family friendly. I will never eat at Hardees again. Ridiculous. How is this allowed?

Soft Porn Hardee's Ad

I am confused as to why Hardee's is using porn to sell hamburgers. It is in very poor taste and instead of making me want to eat at Hardee's, it has the opposite effect. I will not be going there any more, instead I will get my sausage biscuits at Bojangles and my burgers at Wendy's. Is this really the best your advertising company can do?

Hardees

I was watching the Deadliest Catch and was shocked by a pornographic Hardees commercial. REALLY? We will be sure to avoid eating at our local Hardees. So sick of all of the perversion in this country!

Hardees Commercials

These trashy commercials have got to stop. We are being forced to watch these very sexually explicit commercials. If I wanted to watch the Playboy channel, I would pay for it. I certainly don't expect to see such near nudity and sexuality in a commercial for hamburgers. Each new Hardees commercial get a little worse than the one before. Its time we stand together and get this to stop. I've filed a complaint with the FCC and on the Hardees website. I also plan on calling my local television station. Everyone who is tired of these commercials need to do the same. If enough people complain and quit going to their restaurants, they will take notice.

Not for my family

It is hard enough to raise your children in this world with all of the hidden attacks at their budding morals. Hardees is blatantly attacking them. While there is definitely a place and time for sex and being sexy it is not during family television shows on family channels. We have blocks on shows that exceed the ratings we find appropriate...but how do you block a commercial? While changing the channel would be an option, what real parent has time to sit and be the tv police? From the time I come home from work until the time I tuck my kids into bed I am hard at work keeping my house in order and preparing for the next day. I would like to know that I can leave my oldest alone watching a show while I'm in the next room doing housework or cooking supper without them being exposed such trash. As a family we decided to stop eating at Hardees years ago and we don't miss it. We removed ourselves from your life Hardees...kindly remove yourself from ours.

degrading commercials

Hardees commercials need to be taken off of tv. It is degrading women and disrespectful to children. Do they have to go to that extreme to sell food. Burger King Satisfries commercial, made me want to get up and go try them and I did. However, Hardees commercials make me not want to go to Hardees and I don't.
They need to be pulled and find another advertising company. Don't go to Hardees!!!

Pornographic commercial

How old are the people who choose to utilize these commercials? Eleven? Twelve?
Sign me a former customer. I believe the commercials are juvenile and blatantly pornographic. I do not support the exploitation and degradation of women. How about focusing on making food that is edible instead of making erotic commercial?. I thought there were sensors that prohibited this garbage from being viewed during hours when children and decent people were most likely to watch television?
I am amazed that Hardee's executives can be so stupid. At least half of your customers are female. Quite a few of your customers have moral standards and do not appreciate being assaulted by this garbage. Grow up, get some morals, and get a clue!

Hardees Commercial

I was sitting with my husband at 2:45 pm with my 6 children (who were out of school) trying to watch the ACC tournaments and of course Hardees does it again. A commercial that makes us have to change the channel! A woman with a wet see through top on! Disgusting! I can't even sit in my own home and watch something as a family during day time hours without Hardees trying to promote PORN! What about a hamburger involves PORN?! I have two daughters and I sure don't want them thinking this is how women are suppose to act or dress and that, that is all men want! I sure don't want my 4 boys thinking that they can use women or view them as nothing but sex objects! Please try to make decent family commercials! shame on you Hardees! Women have more to offer than being sex objects! You are promoting the wrong things!

Disgusting commerial

It might be OK for single guys to watch this mess but that's just the problem they're not the only ones that do. family watches TV in the evening on a family channel this is ridiculous! You shouldn't have to expose children to these porn commercials. Think of all the young girls who watch TV and they see this behavior and they want to role model it...then they end up in trouble on drugs or on the streets selling themselves... or worse yet in a box in the ground where some crazed idiot got turned on by these commercials and raped them!
