Hardees drops sex ad

By: American Decency Staff

On September 7, we raised concern about Carl's Jr./Hardees new sexualized TV ad. One of you you wrote: "… It's in a High School classroom and the teacher begins doing a raunchy dance as the boys join in and talk about flat backsides, or something like that . There are several variants of the commercial. With all of the female teacher / student sex going on, it is not only vulgar but highly irresponsible. … J.H.K.We shared our concern with you. https://americandecency.org/main.php?f=updates_new/2007/September/9.07.07 A thanks to the many of you who expressed your concern including the persons who brought this ad to us in the first place. ****A SPECIAL THANKS to Don Wildmon and AFA for their email alert to many thousands. "The use of sex appeal and innuendo have made ferocious inroads lately into TV advertising aimed at young adult and twenty-something males — but it's prompted an opposition that's perhaps been nearly as ferocious, at least enough to get one such controversial ad changed. …" http://www.onenewsnow.com/2007/09/america_has_enough_forces_patt.php Personal note: Onenewsnow.com (the link above) reports that "… CKE had been angrily targeted by the Tennessee Education Association for the commercial, as well as by multitudes of TV viewers across the country…." We can hope that CKE (Carl's Jr/Hardees) finally understands but don't due bank on it due to their sullied history. I'm thankful for voices for His righteousness that keep on opposing vileness and promoting His righteousness. Thanks.
