Hardee's Ad Angers Tennessee Teachers

WTVC ^ | September 5, 2007

[TLI]

I just sent Hardies the text of my post minus the last line and adding a line encouraging them to tell the teachers org to shut-up.

You can send your comments to them as well.

Everything is fine.

The market is dictating the morality level and the gubermint had nothing to do with it!

5 points for Capitalism!
5 points for morality.

2 extra points for recognizing a conservative market.

But they are okay with this.

It actually is for Carl’s Jr. (Unless there is another version of the ad for Hardees - the sister company).

If you are asking if the “teacher” in the ad is attractive- I would say she is more physically attractive than the one from the old VH video “Hot for Teacher”....

The Paris Hilton ad was for Carl’s Jr. hamburgers, not Hardees.

I have to say that the commercial is totally inappropriate in so many ways. Is this what we’ve come to - some pretty girl shaking her money maker in front of a bunch of underage boys in order to hawk a few hambugers?

Yo, white kids depicted as “rappers”, now that is disgusting. Sir Mixalot should be granted a opposing view commercial for Hardee’s Thickburger

[KarlInOhio]

It looks like this is a parody of Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back".

The commercial was in bad taste ... but I laugh my not so flat buns off anyway.

This may be the first time ever, I’m going to take the NEA’s side.

I guess Hardee’s was just taking advantage of the news of all the female teachers who have been caught sexing their male students. It seems there have been so many that it seemed like a daily news story.

I’m seeing it constantly. hearing it on the radio.
poor taste, yes, funny YES!, lyrics are just funny.

[television is just wrong]

this ‘teacher looks more in the age category of the kids’ in that commercial.

[Eagle Eye]

I’m hardly a prude but that is inappropriate.

[DTogo]

The NEA is “offended” because real teachers don’t look like the one in the Carl’s Jr. ad, nor Van Halen’s video...

Let’s step this process out, shall we? Someone in an ad agency conceives the idea of the commercial and pushes it to an adult who thinks its a good concept. Other adults in the ad agency also think the concept is solid and present it to adults at Hardees who pass it on to other adults who sign off on the piece of trash.
At every step in the approval process good sense and taste were absent.
Several people at the ad agency and at Hardees should be fired for putting the commerical on the air but I don’t think anyone will be.
Hardees should without hesitation fire the ad agency.

More than a few do.
