Hardee's commercials dig even deeper hole
We already wrote about Hardee's new Biscuit Holes ads, where the words "hole" and "balls" get repeated a lot, but missed this particular spot, where people just come out and say "A-hole" over and over. In a taste test, regular donut holes are marked A, and Biscuit Holes are marked B. People side with the B-holes because "the A-hole seems kind of small," "the A-hole is nasty" and "the A-hole tastes funny." The campaign is by Mendelsohn Zien, which also did the Paris, Padma and Audrina burger spots. |

Love that.
I wish more advertisers could walk a little closer to the edge and really put their brand out there.

I think it is pretty funny. With all the hubub I was expecting something offensive. It comes off as sort of cute. Let's get a life out there people.
