Below is the text of a message I have sent to the public relations department of Carls Junior restaurants. If you have not seen their newest advertisement, let me tell you that it is one that not only condones lying, but advocates violence. If you have seen this advertisement and feel the same way, you might like to contact them through their web page http://www.carlsjr.com/ or e-mail at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I was surprised and very taken aback by the most recent advertisement for your establishment, Carls Jr. The advertisement I am referring to is where a man is late getting home, and to give him a cover story (lie), his "friend" punches him in the face. This commercial shows the condoning of violence and lying to prevent telling a spouse the truth about where you have been. As a husband and parent, I can find NO excuse for this kind of advertising. As an additional point, since the beginning of the "if it's not all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face" campaign, I have not patronized any Carls Jr. establishment. Previously, this has been the fast food restaurant of choice for my family, but as long as this advertisement campaign continues, I will not patronize your campaign. If public relations is not the appropriate department for this message, please forward it to the responsible person. I would appreciate hearing from an official of the company within the next few days. Additionally, this advertisement will be discussed on a national e-mail group "Rangernet", where I will encourage others to protest this unacceptable advertisement campaign. *Mark O'Connell* Outpost 254 Councilman Florin International A/G, Sacramento, CA Don't drive faster than your angel can fly.
