Offensive "sexy" Carls Jr commercial

Complaint

YUBA CITY, CALIFORNIA -- For all of us who are offended by the Kate Upton Carl's Jr commercial please make your opinions count. File a complaint with the FCC via their website. It takes less than 5 minutes and is a very effective way to voice your opinion.

This ad campaign is not only degrading and objectifying women but offensive to the men who the ads are targeted towards. I used to eat their product frequently. Never again. I guess the woman groping herself while eating a burger dint work on this guy. Get a clue Carl's Jr.

I've only seen the ad on tv once. But I go to bed super early since I get up at 4 am. So I dont know if the commercial is playing a lot at night. I've never seen it during the day.

This commerical only plays during 'non children' shows or later in the evening. I dont understand the fuss......

I'm flipping through channels at night and come across rap videos that I don't particularly care for, and many of them objectify women...so I simply enact upon my freedom of choice and change the channel. They have the right to air them just as much as we have the right to complain about them.

Good points, OP. I feel the same way about the ad. I can't speak for the guys, but even if I looked like Kate Upton, they couldn't pay me enough to make that commercial.

If this ad is only being shown late in the evening, then I wonder why there are so many complaints from parents.

I'd be fine with the crap commercials if they'd play fair and stop subscribing to a double standard. If they wanted to have a naked David Beckham slathered in mayo and rolling around in hamburger juice, I'd be just fine with it. Fair is fair---if they can have half naked whores, let's have something for the women and gay men as well.
