Last week onClashDaily.comwe ran a story about Mormon twin sisters who founded “Beauty Redefined”, who are calling on folks to boycott Carl's Jr.’s hamburger joint because they run adverts with hot models. According to the religious twins, these ads, “objectify women”; and I guess, by that inference, girls everywhere, because of the ads, will start to feel badly about themselves, adopt some eating disorder and/or get ocean-buoy-sized breast implants in order to look like Kate Upton. Or something to that effect.
Now, before I go on, here’s an FYI for forlorn ladies wanting to look like Kate after watching a Carl's Jr.’s commercial: try as you might you probably will never look like Miss Upton because that bombshell hit the genetic lotto. Don’t even try. It’ll cost too much money and you’ll end up looking like Mickey Rourke with butt implants and bogus hooters.
Look sisters … Carl’s is known for having beautiful models’ molesting their burgers. It’s their shtick and they’re upfront about it stating, “We believe in putting hot models in our commercials, because ugly ones don’t sell burgers.”
Truth be told, it’s pretty much everybody and their dogs’ shtick who are trying to hawk anything to anyone nowadays. Please note that most of the models that sell stuff to us via TV, print or Internet don’t look like an unshorn and distended Rosie O’Donnell. Lesbian cruises don’t even use models that look like Rosie for their marketing purposes because they know that brain fart would spawn crap results.
Earth to Matilda: Ads are supposed to make us feel bad about ourselves. They’re supposed to make us feel fat, ugly, stupid, lazy, driving the wrong car, using the wrong computer, having gross/frizzy hair, drinking the wrong vodka and/or using the incorrect herpes medicine. For God’s sake relax… its called Marketing 101, it’s been around since the Garden of Eden.
If you want to throw stones then toss some at one of your own like Marie Osmond. She’s using her newfound sexy, fifty-pound, weight dump to pimp the snot out of Nutri-System. Marie … you never looked better.
Speaking of Mormons, if you truly want to jackhammer a group of abusers that’re destroying a women’s worth, then why don’t you turn your #hashtag temper against the “Fundamentalist Church Of The Latter Day Saints“? That cult systematically enslaves and abuses teenage chicks on a 24/7/365 basis. Listen, if you want to get pissy then get pissy at them because they’re straight up gross on ‘roids.
BTW, you do know what fundamental stands for don’t you? It stands for no fun, mostly dumb and quite mental.
Honestly, I hate to pick on you twins because you seem like decent dames that don’t buy into this stercore tauri -laden culture. However, girls … of all the things that are wrong with this planet you two decide to protest a fast food chain? What are you, gay? Good Lawd, sistas … you’re out in leftfield. On a cosmic scale of things, what Carl’s, in your opinion, is doing to women, is incredibly inconsequential compared to the insanely abusive stain on the planet known as Islam.
If you’d like to launch into some #hasthtag-rage-boycott-campaign against a gaggle of jacked up and violent bastards that genuinely abuse women, then why don’t you fly the social media middle finger to Islam? They abuse women more than any other group on the planet, bar none. They make Carl's Jr.’s look like NOW radicals. If you don’t believe me, just Google: female circumcision, honor killings, child brides, Sharia Law, wife beatings, 1400 sexual molestations of children in Rotherdam, UK, the beheading of women and children by ISIS, Boko Haram. And tell me what religion has spawned these atrocities. Why don’t you #hashtag them?
Personally, I thank God we live in a country where gorgeous women are celebrated, allowed to wear bikinis on TV while they wash an old Camaro with one hand and they inhale a hamburger (if they chose to do so) with the other hand and they don’t have to hide every square inch of their body except a tiny slit for their eyes because some bass-akward-goat-lover from Suckistan believes that slavish garb pleases his make-believe sky-god and his pedophile prophet.
If you and other ladies really care about the “plight of women”, then why don’t you #hashtag attack Islam and their demonic Sharia Law which treats women like cow crap from the cradle to the grave? Use your youth and zeal to attack a true enemy of women because everywhere the Islamic weed is allowed to take root women have faced brutalities.

I’m not surprised with that plank in your King platform.
Agreed. They look awful and make the woman sporting them appear to have mental issues.
I don’t like their idiotic ads either and I won’t eat there.
Not a mormon and not a lady
“He got leveraged out of his own company because he refused to bow to the God of Political Correctness”
I suspect that the people who pushed Carl Karcher out did it more from greed and the lust for corporate power rather than anything having to do with political correctness. They just wanted control of his company. Politics wasn’t the center of Carl’s life even though he certainly was a political conservative. His Catholic church was more important to him than politics.
They forced him out because he was giving a lot of money to pro-life causes. They had taken over his company before that, but kept him on as Chairman of the Board. But they didn't want him donating to pro-life causes so they removed him from the board altogether.
Now they use his name to promote pornography and try to sell their lousy food by showing naked women having orgasms while shoving their crappy food in their mouths.
As my son has said, their food must be really bad if they have to use naked women to try to convince people to eat it.
Why don't they just start having their cashiers serve the public dressed in leather underwear?
Feminists forget that we are all preprogramed,women have their ideal, men have theirs and this differs from person to person.
The main problem is that women talk to each other, survival strategy, and decide what men like even though men may differ.
Women have a problem in that they have a limited window of passing their genes on, historically 14-30, young genes are good genes. So we get fashions, strange behavior among women that baffles men.
I’d boycott Islam AND CJ.
There are many Carls Jr establishments here in Nevada.
“Sounds like it was kinda like In n Out Burger.”
I had thought of mentioning exactly that. In-N-Out retains the high quality that Carl’s Jr once had as well when it was still a family business.
It’s interesting that In-N-Out’s Rich Snyder was as devoted an evangelical as Carl Karcher was a devoted Catholic. Both delivered high quality to their customers and both were famous for how well they treated their employees. In-N-Out is still privately owned and still does. Carl’s greatness is but a memory.
“Accountants will inevitably kill a restaurant’s quality. They will point out, accurately, that slightly cutting corners will cut costs and cumulatively generate a huge bottom line profit. The big problem is that there’s always one more corner to cut, and the cumulative effect of that is that they wind up producing crap.”
That’s pretty much what happened at Carl’s. When the MBAs took over they started cutting things. Cheaper was better. Unlike Carl Karcher they didn’t routinely eat at “their” own stores so they didn’t care what the product was as long as someone else would buy it. And they fired long time employees, employees who took a personal pride in Carl’s success and who had made it run well for many years. To an MBA these employees were as replaceable as paper towels. But of course they weren’t.
Thanks for the information. I remember Carl’s Jr. from when we lived in California, until 1975. My mother considered them the best hamburger place ... until sometime after I finished college - late 80s, early 90s, when she said they weren’t any good anymore.
“They forced him out because he was giving a lot of money to pro-life causes. They had taken over his company before that, but kept him on as Chairman of the Board. But they didn’t want him donating to pro-life causes so they removed him from the board altogether.”
That could be. I know that Carl was allowed to stay on as a sort of figurehead after the Board had gained control of the company but I didn’t know that they had removed him entirely.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Dear Mormon Chicks: Why Don’t You Stop Boycotting Carl’s Jr.’s And Boycott Islam?, Pelham wrote:
It’s ironic seeing Carl’s Jr boycotted by conservative Mormon girls. Carl’s used to be the target of feminists and gay rights groups back when it was run by its conservative Catholic patriarch Carl Karcher. And the soft-porn Carl’s commercials don’t just bother Mormon girls, they greatly offended the Catholic founder of Carl’s Jr as well. But he no longer controlled the company.
In the 1960s Carl’s Jr never had to advertise. Carl’s Jr food was so far superior to its competitors that there was little need to advertise. The pretty girls worked behind the counter.
Carl’s Jr began as a family owned chain in southern California. And from what I know he treated his long time employees like family. I heard of a fry cook whose family received a Hawaiian vacation from Carl. Loyalty counted for a lot.
In the 1980s Carl’s went from being a private family owned company to becoming a public stockholder corporation. That was the seed of Carl’s undoing at least to those of us who remember what it was. Carl Karcher lost control of the company he founded and was pushed out by the board of directors. Growth became the new goal of the number crunchers who took over, and quality took a back seat. Advertising aimed at teenage males would replace the word of mouth that used to serve Carl’s Jr so well. Carl died in 2008 at the age of 90.
That fits. There were only about 100 Carl’s Jrs in 1975 and the company was still family run. The food was excellent.
In the 1980s the company went public and the company soon began having financial problems. By 1990 the MBAs were in control and Carl’s Jr wasn’t the same.
Nice Truck.
This article is kind of B.S. I guess in some people’s minds you are either Wahabbist Muslim or Larry Flint, there is no middle ground.
>>>Both the Carls JR Commercials and the Islamic Abuse of Women come from the same pit of Hell<<<
Oh man, that’s a stretch. Let me know when the Broadcast the first Carl’s Jr. Beheading Commercial.
Unlike ISIS, the Commercials are just a fantasy. The Commercials are playing to the core Customer Base, Males 16 to 34.
Burgers or Beer, these types of Commercials are all the same. There are even Carl’s Jr. Commercials with a Hunky Dude for the Ladies. They are equal opportunity.
Being King is all about what I want. That’s what being King is. My way. LOL
Actually, their Food is pretty good. I probably go there twice a week.
As far as Carl Karcher goes, his “demotion” had absolutely nothing to do with his Pro Life stance or his Religion.
It was the Stockholders that were reacting to a rapid decline in Market Share. The Company was on the rocks.
I live in O.C., and I remember reading about this on an almost daily basis. The daily Soap Opera was due to a struggle for control and the reality of what was needed to stave off Bankruptcy.
I actually met Mr. Karcher once. Shook his hand and said hello. He handed me a coupon for a free Famous Star Burger.
