Hardees Corporate Office & Headquarters

I am embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I have enjoyed my visits to what I thought was a family friendly restaurant. It seems that that is no longer the case. The recent ad, porn commerical, for Hardees is absolutely inappropriate and not something I wish to be a part of, or have my family be a part of. Therefore, I will be taking my business elsewhere and that of as many people as I can encourage to do the same. It seems someone's intelligence was left at home, if they had any at all. Perhaps Hardee's has gotten caught up in all the other greed in our world and does not care about children and the influence places like Hardees has on them. What a disappointment!

Please take your filthy commercial off the air. It is sad to see that you have stooped to this level. I really don't think it will sell more burgers or anything else. It would serve the restaurant right if the commercial put you out of business. I just don't appreciate the commercial. The next thing that should air concerning Hardees is an apology from the Corporate Headquarters for allowing something like that to promote their food. I expected more decency from Hardees.

Dear Hardees Corporate Office: After enjoying all of your goofy, silly ads about Black Angus thickburgers, and all of those that preceeded them, I never thought I would see this day. I am apalled at your latest ad for the Japaleno Thickburger and "Some Like it Hot". What were you thinking? It borders on X rated! Also, the commercial airs during the day and Prime Time when kids and teens are watching. Really, that thing has got to go. Aren't we assaulted with enough erotica on TV and the movies already? Your food is good enough that you don't have to do that. If you want to sell hamburgers, especially to families, you'd better burn that commercial - unless, of course, it self-ignites from spontaneous combustion, which is entirely possible.

I am writing because I had the misfortune of witnessing your latest commercial this week. The evening I was confronted with the images on the screen, I had been watching the 6:30 news with my husband. Before I knew what was happening, I had already been "slimed." I am a Christian, a mother, and a grandmother. I cannot adequately express to you how vehemently opposed to your commercial I am because it is an attack on people's minds and their morals! Do you really want to be responsible for leading people to lust after this young woman and to lust after your food? Please reconsider and remove your commercial and clean up your advertising for the sake of children and families!

I am DISGUSTED by the new commerical!!! If movies and television shows have ratings so we can decide what our children and families are exposed to why on earth does Hardees have the right to decide for us? I was HORRIFIED to have one of the most awkward conversations with my children about a writhing, sweating girl touching herself while eating a HAMBURGER!!! Interestingly if you post on Hardee's facebook page about this, your comment will be deleted and moved to a "safe" place further down the page. Hardees, you have lost the business of our family forever. Your target audience is not families obviously!!!!

To the Corporate Fools at Hardees, You have finally gone over the top for the most lude, disgusting and disrespectful commercial you have ever placed on TV. What must you be thinking, does this type of thought process really deserve to be placed in front of our children. Your "drive-in commercial" is the most disrespectful thing I have seen in a long time to the women of our country. Just so you know in no uncertain terms you have finally once and for all assured yourself that Hardees is not a family restaurant and we as a family of Christians will NEVER SET FOOT IN ANY HARDEES RESTAURANT AGAIN! IT IS THIS TYPE OF MORAL DECAY THAT IS TURNING OUR COUNTRY INTO A 3RD RATE COUNTRY I NEVER THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PEOPLE WHO HEAD UP THIS SO CALLED BUSINESSS. THERE IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE RESERVED FOR ALL OF YOU.

I have just contacted Hardees consumer offices by phone- 877- 799- 7827 and spoke to a reasonable sounding man about the commercial that my husband and I were forced to view last night...sexy is fine but the breasts and suggestive positioning of the young woman was something for porn or the bedroom only. Sensationalism does sell- but shouldn't be allowed at the hour in which we viewed this insult to women(8-8:30pm) I asked the rep to please relay my feelings along apparently with many others as evidenced by the above reviews. I will contact WLOS, my cable advertisers and any one who will listen. Perhaps Change.com would be good to address this issue. Please call the corporate # above and let them know how you feel.

I cannot believe you have this commercial on TV. I am so disgusted and for children to see this on TV. This is supposed to be a FAMILY place to eat!! Hah!! I refused to go to Hardees anymore until this commercial is pulled and I am spreading the word to everyone and on facebook also and already everyone I have talked to are not going to Hardees and believe me we frequented the place ALOT. It is bad enough the shows that are on TV now but this is beyond belief!

I was sitting alone watching TV (thankfully my children were not there with me) when your soft porn commercial with the young woman at the drive-in behaving in a sexually explicit manner came on. What does this behavior have to do with eating a hot thick hamburger? Nothing. Exactly! What's wrong with this picture? No decency, prudence, or respect for the family who watch have to watch this filth, the woman you hired for this commercial, or the public in general. I decided last night that I will not be taking our family to Hardee's anymore. You owe your viewers and customers who care about decency an apology.

Okay, here I go. Either get your latest commercial (PORN) ad pulled from TV or you have lost another customer!!! It is just plain filth & why does a family fast food business have to stoop to this (plain filth) just to sell a hamberger? What is wrong with you people that you thought you could actually get this filthy ad to bring in more business? In case you are not aware of this, we have McDonalds, Wendy's, Subways & other fast food places that we can go to & if you don't pull this ad & I use that term loosely, I will write to every newspaper that I can write to & voice my opinion to everyone that will listen to boycott hardees. At this point of my discuss with hardees, you do not even deserve to have a capitol h for your title. We eat there quite often & until this ad is pulled, you will no longer have our business!! You need to fire whoever wrote that ad & get in touch with real life. You do not need to have a barely clothed woman, showing her breasts & appearing to be sexual with herself over a stupid hamburger. But the reality of all of this is that it is your ad department & whoever allowed this filthy ad to be on TV, are really the stupid ones. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OR DO YOU EVEN THINK??? My advice is to pull the ad, fire a few people & give an apology to all of your customers, if you have any left. The longer you leave it on the air, the madder people are going to get & before long, we may no longer have a hardees because WE THE PEOPLE are who you should be listening to instead of some perverated fool thinking you would haul in more business with this filthy porn!! Yes, I'm mad, mad at you for being so stupid to even allow this to be put on the air. SHAME on you hardees, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!!!

I was highly offended and extremely disappointed in a Hardee's as family restuarant when I saw the commercial last night for the patty melt involving the young woman in a car at the drive in. Not only was the commercial inappropriate, it was basically soft porn, it was insulting. Putting peppers on a sandwich will NOT make a woman come out of her clothes and appear to experience a totally different activity. Congratulations, you have ensured that I will remember your commericial and NOT buy your products.

I am a Christian. Even if I weren't, I wouldn't want any child to view your new commercial. I am apalled at the recent "girl at the drive in" commercial! It is soft porn!!! IT SHOULD NOT BE ON ANY TELEVISION CHANNEL OTHER THAN A PORNOGRAPHY ONE!!!!! WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES YOUR MARKETING DEPARTMENT THINK ABOUT THE AVERAGE CONSUMER? Obviously, your company needs to rethink its marketing strategies!!! I have held my tongue long enough! Your company continues to try to sell sex, not food! I will NOT be a customer of Hardee's any longer!!! I am also sending this to as many people as I can. I am researching to see what can be done to stop this sort of pornography. What's next Hardee's? Is your next step to solicit children???

I am very much offended by the new commercial you are airing for the new "hot" thickburger. It does not take a display of sexual connotations to sell a hamburger. You are supposed to be a family oriented eating establishment and this clearly shows your lack of respect for family values. I do hope there are many others who will express their displeasure with this vulgarity. Please remove this commercial !!

Okay where do I begin? I have very much enjoyed the food and service for awhile now. I recently watched your latest commercial.. first of all I cant believe in a million years that this is even aloud on television. Secondly that you would even represent your company in this light. I have seen several of your commercials but this takes the cake. I actually read tons of reviews and letters written over the YEARS and nothing has changed, only gotten worse. Clearly Hardees do not care about how the women have been feeling. They obviously do not care about the women and children. They care about targeting perverted men. I would think commercials would try to attract families. I am highly disappointed. This email is clearly pointless because people have been complaining for years. THEY DONT CARE!

I am appalled by your latest commercial that shows a woman with her legs spread and her breasts exposed with the camera showing her in such a sexually explicit position to get people to become aware of HARDEE"S. This is how far coporate america will push with no moral or ethical code today. It is about doing what ever it wants to sell at the expense of youth, mothers and believe it or not males. You have lost your responsibility to your public. To make a commercial with the intent of being sexually explicit would have been considered soft pornography not to long ago and would have been corporate death. YOU ARE A FAMILY RESTAURANT. You are not selling sex. You are selling hamburgers. Who is your audience. You need to take this ad down immediately. I am offended as a mother, a woman and a parent. As a commercial on TV during times when children are watching, you are harming them with full knowledge because you think there are no consequences. HARDEE"S knows full well, by the time I as a viewer switch the channel from this offensive ad, the ad is over. You take away my right to not view such filth. That makes me MAD. I know I speak for many woman who are parents and I hope they write, call, and get really ANGRY so our voices are heard by you. STOP. You, are responsible for desensitiing the public, especially our youth, to think that sex is casual, with no consequences and that anything veiwed sexually is OK to sell your product. It is just an Ad. Well, you need to hear loud and clear that it is not OK. I want it to stop. TAKE DOWN YOUR SEXUALLY EXPLICIAT AD NOW. I want an apology.

We enjoy eating at our Hardee's store in Troy,Mo very much. There is no complaint, I have just seen a commercial on tv and I am disturbed about it. It is a young lady sitting unlady like, and her push up bra has just about pushed THEM out. I hate the commercial, Please take it off the air. I am going to start a campaign with my friends all over the U.S to get this smut off the air. Make a cute funny commercial for once. Too much sex, this is demeaning. How far can we go as a nation before the Lord strikes us dead. We are like Sodom and Gohamorrah now..As much as I like the food, I will not patroitnize your restruants again until this is GONE. Have your advertisers run out of cute idea's? Why not let the kids in grade school help them. I bet they could do a better job with subject matter.

If you don't print my comments or move them up the channel internally, I am going to post everywhere on the internet I can. In my entire life, I have never done anything like this. I have never been so offended by a commercial in my life. This Ad finally pushed my buttons. This is how angry I am. I am so tired of having to be exposed to corporate america not taking any responsiblity for what kind of commercials it makes to sell its products on TV. That Ad is so harmful to so many people.

This is not concerning a Hardees location, it is concerning a commercial for Hardees that aired in Virginia, Feburary 27th. I can not believe that a chain like Hardees that is supposed to be a "family" resturant would allow this commercial to advertise its food. The young woman was baring all, and having what appeared to be a erotic experience while eating a Hardees sandwich. I am not a prude, however, I feel that this is no message that should be sent to our young girls, and has no place on prime time television. It would be better suited to a porno site. I will not be a customer of Hardees in the future.

I work for the hardees in Easley on East main street! I have the best Gm who works way harder then anybody else. We love our customers & have tons of regulars. We don't usually get complains but when that random complaint comes threw.. it's usually a miss understanding. It sucks that people are having such horrible experiences I guess it's just where you go.

I ususally do not do this, but am fed up with one of your stores. The store is located at 21st & Post rd., in Indianapolis IN. I stop by 5 days a week for breakfast(usually my only meal of the day). Again today, the store was not open at the posted time of 6am. This happens at least 3-4 times a month. There is no excuse for this to happen. Your company is in the food industry and you cannot profit from this store if nobody is there to open the store. I am not looking for freebees or anything like that. I just would like someone to respond to me and let me know that action is or will be taken to ensure this store will be open at the times posted. Thank You.
