• Hardees commercials

  I cannot stand how Burger King and Hardees seem to want to compete for nastiest commercial ever made.  When we are talking about food I don't see how this helps because it creates ( for myself at least ) a sickening association so whenever I think about eating at Hardees I think of the commercial below and stay away.  It's just disgusting.
  
  When you also consider that this could be played in front of children too you have to wonder why this would be made.  I would hate if I had a child that approached me with questions about what they were talking about in this commercial.  How embarrassing and appalling.  Kids can be pretty perceptive and will probably pick up on the fact that there is a joke being made here that they might not comprehend. 
  
  Then there is Burger King who combine Spongebob Squarepants with suggestive dancing and to the tune of Baby Got Back.  That's just wonderful.  We can no longer allow our kids to enjoy their childhood because they are being forced to grow up so fast by the bombardment of advertising that is facing them on Television.  What was burger king thinking?  Combining a childrens cartoon with a sex song? 
  
  Am I just overreacting or is this offensive?  Honestly I think it's wrong on many levels but please if others have a different opinion then share them because I really want to see the other side to this coin.  Thanks!
