Carl’s Jr has also not always been known for their classy advertisements. “Celebrities” such as Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, and Kim Kardashian have graced the their ads. What do all of these women have in common? Being famous yet having virtually no talent and all having a sex tape out…coincident, we think not. For many men and women in our society these women are the epitome of sex.
It continually shocks us that women agree to star in these ads for we feel that they are incredibly degrading to women. The irony of having these pencil thin women gorging themselves on these large, completely innutritious burgers is also quite hilarious to us. You do not get that skinny and hot from eating Carl’s Jr. burgers, not even close.
So why do they keep coming out with more ads with virtually the same content? Well obviously something is working, they are targeting a small demographic of people, young to middle age men, but that group continues to be loyal followers no matter how many tasteless ads Carl’s Jr. puts out.

You mention that the audience for these ads is comprised of young to middle aged men, but I wonder whom it affects more, those men watching the ad? Or the girlfriend, wife, partner, etc. who watches the ad in their company?
ReplyDeleteI agree that these commercials are ridiculous but they must increase profits or the companies wouldn't advertise this way for no reason. Instead of trying to change the advertisements maybe people should be more educated on the side effects of the commercials so they wont have the negative effect even if they are shown.
