- Go to This Hardee's/Carl's Jr Ad is Offensive and Demeaning to Teachers!!
Talk about over reacting
Get rid of the annoying white dudes and this is a great commercial. Of course I've not seen that version get aired on TV. The one I keep seeing doesn't show enough of the teacher.
As for is this is demeaning to women? Please. What world are you people living on? How much money did that woman make for this? She knows she is sexy and is making money off it. Nothing at all demeaning there. At least she is being honest. The most demeaning thing towards women I keep seeing is people saying these kinds of things are demeaning to women. Here we have women openly saying they want to use their sexuality to make money and empower themselves and they are being told to actually go and take control of their lives is a bad thing to do.
Is it demeaning to a man for him to go and play professional sports? Same type of thing really. Going and using their natural gifts to sell themselves physically for other people's enjoyment.
As for what this promotes about school and sexuality towards teacher. You guys are really stretching for that one. The whole sex thing with teacher has more to do with all the artificial hormones in our foods that are causing our kids to physically mature faster, and due to use being animals there is a natural sexual response to such things. While the teachers should have better self control, due to simple nature it is no surprise such things are happening more and more. It has to do with the laws of nature and not with any influence our entertainment might have.
I already am well aware that I am dealing with a group who wishes to over look logic, reasoning and facts to try and point the finger at anything they find offensive. You guys really need to grow up when it comes to matter of sex and sexuality.

For some reason, I can't see anything but a blank space (same thing on your prior post)....but, the description is enough to let me know what I think.....absurd, disprespectful, and encourages kids to see the classroom as their extended street corner......I've seen other ads in the same vein and felt the same about them...

This is wrong and stupid for so many reasons that I don't know where to start, so I'm just going to join Matie in saying WTF!

I'm gonna go against you and B. O'Reilly on this one - maybe it has to do with that streak of Libertarian in me - fighting terrorism seems a tiny bit more important to me, than getting upset over ads like this. As always, I respect (but in this case, disagree with) your opinion. Full disclosure - I don't have any children. Good post.

That is disgusting. They are asking why do boys still in school think they can have sex with the teachers and the teachers think the same? Gross, disgusting and totally immoral. I never saw a Carl's Jr. but I would buy nothing from that place.
