You gotta admit — those Carl’s Jr. ads really are gross.
The Mormons have really got to do something about Marie Osmond.
They don’t want to open that can of worms. Both were founded by guys making up stories about things they were told by God. Both have had issues in their treatment of women.
Love a good rant....
He seems to be saying that, because Islam is bad, public licentiousness must be considered good. Odd reasoning for a Christian.
It is fair to point out that the FLDS is a lot closer to the Mormonism of Smith and Young than is the present mainstream LDS church. FTM, I believe even the FLDS prophets don't "marry" women who are already married to living husbands.
Kudos to the official LDS for moving away from their origins, but I do object to the way lie about them. A couple decades ago I went thru their welcome center/museum on Temple Square in SLC, and the main reason they gave (can't remember if it was the only one) for the hostility of the Missourians to the Saints was that they were opposed to slavery.
Doug, we can fight two enemies at the same time. Both the Carls JR Commercials and the Islamic Abuse of Women come from the same pit of Hell.
Bring back the Comstock laws, these ads allow harlots to make money off of being obscene and un-Christian.
"Carl’s responded: “We believe in putting hot models in our commercials, because ugly ones don’t sell burgers,” the chain said in a news release."
I don’t know why anybody would get crazed about Kate Upton’s body. She has a shapeless waist, featureless legs, she’s not all that fit, and would flunk a pencil test without trying it. I’d hate to see what she looked like after 20 years without reconstructive surgery.
All I want from Carl’s is a correct order. Just one.
Boycotts, like “apologies” and throwing the race card, are getting tiresome and old. Things that only blithering, drooling idiots do.
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.
I don’t like their idiotic ads either and I won’t eat there.
Not a mormon and not a lady
I’d boycott Islam AND CJ.
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.
Do these possibly proud daughters of Zion read fashion magazines? Those objectify women more insidiously than most things aimed through the mass media at a male demographic.
Is there not a more influential group you could talk about? You complain that they are firing at the wrong target. But aren't you doing the same?
