It seems that the latest Hardees/Carl’s Jr television commercials has struck a nerve with many Triangle residents. Well, my inbox has been flooded with emails from concerned viewers. Here’s the form letter that is going around:
Dear local television manager,
I am highly offended by the sexual content in the latest Hardees/Carl’s Jr. television commercials known as “Patty Melt” and “Flat Buns.” In my opinion, they violate local community standards. Because you are licensed to serve the public interest in our community, I request that you refuse to air these ads. If you are already airing them, I ask you to stop.As required by law, please place a copy of this email letter in your station’s public file, to be readily available to FCC representatives, specifically during the license renewal period for your station.
Want to see some of the ad’s in question? Check them out here, here and here.
