The most offensive commercial ever was from Hardee's
It was selling Hardee's new Shit on a Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich: a healthy bowel movement tucked into a hearty made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuit.

Anyway, it was a Cooking Show for Men. Apparently, men have to be told to open the top of a cereal box and carefully open the bag inside for fear all of the cereal will spill out onto the floor.

I'll bet my Henckels chef's knife that I know how to get the fuckin' cereal box open.

2. Save it............
I was raised on Hardee's Cheeseburgers, and no amount of misplaced liberal rage is gonna change my warm feelings toward them and their menu.

7. I love Hardees' menu too
Have you tried the Slammers? Hardee's answer to White Castles and Krystals. Little bitty burgers with a great flavor. A bit expensive for what you get at 69 cents apiece but so tasty.

The new Thickburgers are good too--pure Angus beef.

Hardee's--good food, shitty commercials.

4. Actually, Hardees breakfast rule!
That's why Carl's Jr. bought 'em out a few years ago.

8. I'm not either
but if we find ONE who is, they must apologize for them. We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings...no matter how paranoid or hypersensitive that male is.

6. Well, now you have my innards excited.
I've prepped tomorrow's dinner--Prosciutto ham smothered in mozzarella cheese, then wrapped in a pounded steak and olive oil before wrapping it again in more prosciutto, shredded cheddar and garlic butter, tossed into a casserole dish, covered with bacon, and marinated in lemon juice and sake.

I cooked it for an hour, and all I need to do tomorrow is reheat it, plate it with the asparagus, black olives, and the cabbage I just cooked, and then it won't feel so cold outside.

I should sleep fast, because this is looking really, really good!

12. So, we could have a spot on TV...
Edited on Wed Jan-14-04 05:25 PM by BiggJawn
That protrays women as stupid little airheads that would strangle in their own snot if some wise man wasn't around to tell them to breathe?

No?

Why not? It's "just a joke", isn't it?

Behind every opinion of "Big Deal, it's a JOKE" is an agenda of "Yeah, payback. Stick it to The Partiarchy!"

And Hardee's is NASTY shit! No flavour, even less than Mickey Dee's

13. Yes - we do all the time, and it sucks.
There are plenty of commercials on TV that portray women in EXACTLY that way.

I'll tell you what makes me more sick as a male however, and that is all this self-righteous inverse "male rage" bullshit - men never missing an opportunity to talk about how abused they are in a society that has become more humane (barely) toward women.

I just want to look at my fellow man (literally) and punch him in the nutsack. :)

20. Fine, you take the shit...
I don't have to.

Of course, I don't even know why I'm chiming in on this discussion. I don't watch TV, so I know NOTHING of beer comercials or little balls dangling under truck axles.

16. don't forget "trucks"

17. Sorry, but that's quite tame compared to what ads do to women --
Edited on Wed Jan-14-04 05:57 PM by TopesJunkie
And Hardees isn't nearly as bad as McD's. In fact, much of the menu is/was quite good.

23. Like every commercial for every cleaning product ever!
When is the last time a man was shown doing laundry, with a dustrag, or cleaning a floor?

15. I used to eat that sort of chow up
not many Hardees up in New England though. However, to counter the stupidness of the ad I offer a creative satire from our pals at The Onion. www.theonion.com

McDonald's Introduces McCrazy Burger
OAK BROOK, IL—Responding to an over-abundance of low-cost beef, McDonald's unveiled the new five-patty McCrazy Burger Tuesday. "A pound and a half of all-American beef topped with lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of our new peppercorn sauce," said Melanie Haas, marketing director for the fast-food giant's Northwest region. "We promise you'll go crazy from the delicious taste of 100 percent pure beef, and not from bovine spongiform encephalopathy!" Haas refused to comment on the exact geographic origin of the cattle used in the new sandwich.

18. I loved Hardees.
They all closed here about 8 years ago. There used to be one on the turnpike headed out of town but it caught fire last year. They rebuilt it is a McD's :( That was always the bright spot to a road trip.

24. Yup. Not bad any time of day, but fabulous at breakfast.
Hardees was a bright spot in fast food.

21. Not the MOST Offensive Commercial!
Most offensive commercial was that CLUB FOR GROWTH commercial. Ergh! But who eats Hardee's breakfast currently?
