Carl's Jr. Degrading to Women

I am so glad to see people are complaining about the Carl's Jr. ad. I now have restored faith in America!

Carls Jr

Your television advertisement sends a message about half the population that is offensive, demeaning, and completely inappropriate. Do none of the people in power in these companies have intelligent self-respecting women in their lives to help educate them about how to behave in 2014? Will never eat at Carls Jr., nor will my children, my parents, or my friends.

Carls Jr offensive commerical

I am so tired of sitting down and watching a show with my husband and grandkids & a very offensive tv commercial like this comes on. It's sad that the people writing these commercials are not smart enough to actually write a ad that will help promote their product. All they can think of is trying to sell their product by selling sex. We will never go to their burger joint, and we will never buy food or say a positive thing about this restaurant. Please take this ad off all networks, and show respect to women, and the young children who are the future. We need children to grow up with values that respect others, not degrade them. We are so tired of seeing smut on tv. And espically when you are watching a family show.

Carl's Jr offensive commercials

I have had enough, clearly Car's Jr. care nothing for women, with their sexual abusive and offensive commercials. Can we sue because I am disgusted with these practically nude scenes and if this is okay then what will appear next. Does Carl's Jr. have no moral standards or respect for women and families? Who is in charge of these commercials? Who allows them?

Absolutely appalled at Carls Jr commercial

Literally shocked at the Carls Jr. Commercial. How can such filth and porn be shown in a commercial for a family fast food chain. Why is this happening right in our homes during prime time t.v. Or any time for that matter. Will never eat there again and will spread the word to boycott.

texas barbecue hamburger and sexist bikini clad models

I want to register a complaint about the nearly nude models eating a barbecue hamburger. I feel that this type of commercial is terrible when Sonic and other advertisers use humor instead of sexist advertising. I think the chickens around the business was great and attracted attention as well as humor. I do think your advertising group needs to step up and attract business instead of equating sexually erotic photos with eating a hamburger. Shape up and improve please. I am not interested in buying your product because of your advertising.

your disgusting commercials using almost naked women

What is your guys' deal? Seriously i just saw your new foul and gross commercial for the texas man burger, during daytime family T.V. I didn't want to watch your ad, it grossed me out. I'am a young 25 year old girl who is not a fan of being seen as a sexualized symbol. Women are intelligent beings who shouldn't been seen as sex objects. I condone not only you Carls Jr, but the air headed actresses who accept your nasty money filled offers. This is not only degrading but sinful, especially if there are children present. Stop airing these disturbing commercials, as they go against every moral of society and family structure. I don't want my kids to grow up watching this trash to be scarred for life. if
P.S. IF YOU WANT MORE SALES MAKE BETTER FOOD, AND DONT TRY TO SELL CRAP FOOD BY PUTTING A NAKED MODEL EATING IT. SERIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE NOT THAT STUPID.

Commercials

I don't want Carl's Jr. to continue to air commercials with half naked women. What does light porn have to do with eating a burger anyway? Now I will be constantly switching the channel EVERY TIME a Carl's commercial begins. My children shouldn't be subjected to obscenities on T.V. I will NOT be dining at Carl's Jr. until the company published a PUBLIC apology for thoughtless and degrading commercials. Believe me, we won't be the only family avoiding Carl's Jr.

Complain about Carl's Jr. to the FCC

I phoned TW Cable about the texas burger commercial, and they submitted a complaint to the FCC. TW Cable said that consumer complaints have more weight with the FCC, so please register complaints about the texas burger (or any other offensive) commercial at the FCC website:

http://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/fcc475B.cfm

We might be able to stop this from being aired at least during family hours and on family channels.

Horrible ads

Disgusted with these ads. Not just me, but my children too! For fast food?? Absolutely disrespectful- the humor in these ads is LONG gone- time to hire a new ad agency. In the meantime we'll make it a point not to eat there.

Carl's Jr Ad

Horrible. Will be sure to never eat there OR take my kids there. What are you thinking? Very disappointed that you feel you have to advertise this way. Worse than having my kids watch a Victoria's Secret commercial. Never every eating there and will be sure to lobby for others to stay away too.

Hardee's porn

Shown during family shows??? Really?!? Shame on you! Way to alienate now ex-customers! My kids were watching "American Ninja Warriors" when this filth was forced on us! Does no one in the ad department have children? I can only assume they are lonely perves who spend all their time on porn sites. Appalled. I expect these on MTV or Comedy Central, but the news, sporting events, and family programming?!? Ridiculous! Lost this customer, and I often are breakfast there. Never again!

Carl's Jr. tv ads

I've never eaten at a Carl's Jr. because of their sexual ads objectifying women, and I never will. How does the company have enough money to pay these models & actresses anyway? They must command a very big price - Super Models and Kardashians don't come cheap. It must cost them a fortune! They should put that money into their products to improve the quality, and follow the ad example of other successful fast food companies like Wendy's and McDonalds. Even Jack-in-the-Box has great ads! I believe if all of them never put another ad on t.v., it wouldn't make any difference in their sales. We all like what we like - who's going to change? Nobody!

teas burger commercial makes me sick

I change the channel before the texas burger commercial has a chance to air during the baseball games because it blatantly objectifies women. Kids love to watch baseball, and I don't want them to learn that women are worthless except for sex. Is this what we want to teach them?? I will continue to complain to every station that airs this commercial.

Show us a man in skimpy, one -size too small speedos crawling all over his car with a little bit of scrotum showing when he sticks his butt in everyone's face. I demand equal rights.

New Ad is Offensive

WOW, the new Hardee's commercial is extremely offensive. I never thought that a burger joint would have to resort to sex to sell their product. I know that it is Hardee's last ditch effort to get back in the market...because quite frankly, Hardee's sucks. And no amount of explicit advertising is going to change this fact. Unfortunately, It goes to show you that advertising a burger has gone to far! I really appreciate that our kids get to see this garbage. Furthermore, in the quest to obtain more customers through this advertising gimmick, Hardee's will ultimately lose more. I would rather drive 100 miles out of my way to get something to eat than to take my family to a Hardee's because I don't know what the hell might be in the dining area. Naked waitresses, porn on TV? I sure in the hell am not going to give my money to a company like that. Thanks for offending me and my family. I guess it is off to McDonald's we go!

Hardees Commercial

Just saw the soft core porno Paris Hilton and some other girl "Texas something or other Hamburger" ad. I am a man and I find this commercial outrageous and REPULSIVE! This kind of low budget smut has no place on television. Promoting sex and subtle homosexuality has no place on a television ad! This sickens me. I have a wife and 2 kids, of which is a beautiful, intelligent, little girl and a wonderful developing little boy. I don't want my little girl witnessing this Godless trash and thinking that this is what a woman's role is in life Or my little boy seeing women paraded around in near BDSM wear selling lust and hamburgers. Please take this filth from the television.

Latest Pornographic TV Ad

This is the real war on women (and young girls). I've written them letters and emails encouraging them to get their brains out of their pants, but they've never responded. The Carl's Jr. corporation doesn't care about anything but money. They disgust me.

Pornographic Ads

I don't understand why a company that makes and sells hamburgers to families would want to degrade themselves by using half naked, extremely sexually suggestive females in their advertising on television. I was watching the news with my husband at 6:00 pm when I was amazed and horrified by the disgusting ad you had released. I am a retired elementary teacher, a grandmother and a Christian. I do not appreciate being subjected to pornographic advertising, especially during the hours when young children are likely to see this garbage. It also makes me determined to never buy any Carl's Jr. product again while this advertising policy continues. I would love to see family oriented commercials which honor our country, your company, and a great tasting hamburger!

commercials continued

Out of all these complaints, I can only find one person who is a male. I know with the usernames no one can 100% sure, but I feel pretty confident saying there are very few men on this page speaking up. Herein lies a big part of the problem. What really upsets me is I hardly ever watch TV, and on the rare occasion that I sit down with my husband to watch one of his shows with him, I sit there maybe 15 minutes before I have some form of smut from somewhere in my face. I don't enjoy putting my feet up and taking in a show with my man anymore. If I was the kind of woman who was into watching porn with my man, it certainly wouldn't be in the early evening in our living room with the kids sitting right beside us. And I seriously doubt a Carl's Jr. burger would be involved anyway. Apparently Carl's believes in starting kids out young. What sucks is we can all rant and rave, and nothing is going to be done because there are too many men that truly find nothing wrong with these commercials, and today it seems too many women rely on their sex appeal rather than their brains to get anywhere, so it's not like these women will be saying, "oh no, I can't get paid to straddle a car and eat a burger." People are out for themselves. What is really sad is sex is supposed to be something sacred. Today there is no more leaving anything to the imagination because everything is right there for you to see. Have you guys noticed how hard it is to find woman's clothing that has any kind of style to it that isn't see through or mini or low cut? Anyway, I can go on for days so I will stop here.

Commercials

It is very uncomfortable to be sitting with your young daughter (or child of any age) and have one of these commercials come on. How do you explain why a shiny woman is grinding on a car eating a burger? When I was growing up, this kind of stuff was considered soft porn. Today boundaries are blurred, and this smut is being shown primetime to our kids. Even if I had no children, I would find these commercials very offensive. I wonder how many women actually feel comfortable sitting next to their partner when these come on. Maybe if they made better food, Carl's wouldn't have to rely on sex to sell their slop.
