Yep, it has been confirmed Quiznos is the company running the offensive ad about girls liking their meat. How sad a food chain feels the need to join in the disgusting sexualization of our kids.
I logged a comment on Quiznos’ website today (www.quiznos.com). I invite you to do the same. Their creative minds should be able to come up with a better way to market their product. Here is a copy of what I sent them today:
“Your new commercial that makes a statement along the lines of “girls like a lot of meat” is disgusting. The suggestive nature of the ad is clear. Many of my friends who have heard the commercial are shocked, men and women alike. It’s one of those ads that seriously makes you stop what you are doing and drop your jaw. I think you should pull the ad and rethink things a bit. It’s great to get people’s attention, but if you have to do it that way you won’t be seeing any more of my money. I’m tired of all of the sexual messages our kids receive. There is no reason for a sandwich shop to contribute to the problem.”
Good job and I guess Hardees is a main candidate for a letter as well since they have some of the most suggestive commercials anywhere. I mean shocking. I guess if a company is not doing well, they resort to selling with sex, because that always sells.
Beth, I haven’t noticed the Hardees ads. We don’t have any near here though. I’ll keep an eye out. It’s just sad and wrong.
I too left a message to them about the commercial. How offensive!
Way to go Alice. I’m trying to do what I can to stop just ignoring messages I might actually be able to take action against. It’s not about limiting someone’s free speech. It’s about knowing they could do better and there is no reason for them to stoop so low.
