"The ad is no longer in circulation." – Larry Brayman, CKE Restaurants, February 11, 2002
The Carl's Jr. "nuggets" ad that aired in California in Jaunary and part of
February is off the air, according to CKE Restaruants, the parent company of Carl's Jr.,
a fast food franchise in CA. The ad showed a group of men dressed as scientists examining a live chicken, looking for her "nuggets." One of them took off his glove and said, "They're not here either," implying an anal search for nuggets.
A Los Angeles Times article about UPC's campaign to get rid of the ad
("What if someone Went Looking for Your Nuggets?") by Dana Parsons,
January quoted UPC President Karen Davis, "When someone's poking around
your body and sniffing around, looking under your tail, wing and treating this bird's body
derisively . . . that's our objection."
CKE Restaurants said the ad targeted their "mots frequent custormers... the young male audience."
