Burgers Not Boobs | Carl's Jr. & Hardees Go Back To Mad Men Days

Trump Labor Secretary candidate Andy Puzder was defeated before Congress, after humiliating testimony about his alleged sexual assaults on his wife became public. Puzder also packed up his bags and left his position as CEO of CKE Restaurants, parent company of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's, home to the infamous Carl's Jr. babes with boobs ads. 

It's not the case that President Trump's pussy-grabbing proclamations of his love and respect for women are the sole reason driving a fresh marketing approach at Carl's Jr. America's fast food industry is losing customers to -- quality food. Indeed, chowing down on babes with boobs may fill one part of a frat boys needs, but it's no longer the whole story. 

Dad is back. The campaign is great but we must remember that dad had a few of his own issues. Think 'Mad Men' and the second wave of feminism. 

On Tuesday Noon, Mercedes & BMW. Allstate Plus Five More Advertisers Cut Ties To Fox News 'The O'Reilly Factor'

In the last few hours, six more advertisers joined Mercedes-Benz yesterday and Hyundai early Tuesday in pulling their advertising from the 'The O'Reilly Factor' show. BMW of North America; GlaxoSmithKline; Allstate; Constant Contact, an online marketer; Untuckit, a men’s clothing distributor; and Sanofi Consumer HealthCare, which advertised products like ACT mouthwash on Mr. O’Reilly’s show, have pulled their ad dollars, reports an updated article at the New York Times.

Marketing representatives stated that they will monitor the situation regarding the claims against Bill O'Reilly, but there is no doubt that losing eight advertisers in 24 hrs. is an emergency room issue for both Bill O'Reilly and Fox News, as well as the entire Rupert Murdoch family. 

Scandal and turmoil returned to Fox News on Monday, with ousted chairman Roger Ailes becoming the subject of a new sexual  harassment lawsuit. Also on Monday, the New York Times published a scathing investigation that found five women who made allegations of sexual harassment or inappropriate allegations against him. The five women charging O'Reilly received settlements totaling about $13 million according to the Times.

“Given the importance of women in every aspect of our business, we don’t feel this is a good environment in which to advertise our products right now,” Donna Boland, the manager of corporate communications for Mercedes-Benz, wrote in an email. Mercedes-Benz has spent an estimated $1.9 million in ads on “The O’Reilly Factor” in the last year, according to iSpot.tv, the TV ad analytics firm.

In a separate article Monday evening, the Times cited a difficult situation in dealing with money-machine O'Reilly.  Ratings are up significantly under most cable news shows in the Trump era and O'Reilly's are no exception. Viewers are likely to dismiss the women's claims, but advertisers control the purse strings. 

If more advertisers abandon Mr. O’Reilly’s show, it would be a blow to Fox News, which provides billions of dollars in revenue each year to its parent company, 21st Century Fox. Mr. O’Reilly has long been the pugnacious face of a prime-time lineup that sets the tone for conservative commentary. His show attracts almost 4 million viewers a night, and from 2014 through 2016 it generated more than $446 million in advertising revenue, according to the research firm Kantar Media.

The situation today at Fox News has to be critical.

Col Kristin Goodwin, Openly Gay & Second Woman, Appointed Commandant Of US Air Force Academy

Col. Kristin Goodwin, an openly LGBT officer, has been appointed to become commandant of the US Air Force Academy, the first gay person and only the second woman to occupy the position. On March 21, Air Force Times reported the Goodwin appointment, one that requires Senate confirmation writes Samanatha Allen for The Daily Beast. 

LifeSiteNews declared a pending catastrophe with the headline Lesbian with 'wife' and two kids selected to lead U.S. Air Force Academy, while relaying complaints from the Pray in Jesus Name Project.

During his confirmation hearings, US Secy of Defense Jim Mattis said, “I have never cared much about two consenting adults and who they go to bed with.” Goodwin also has “outstanding service and leadership credentials,” as a U.S. Air Force Academy spokesperson told the Air Force Times. And Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell—the policy prohibiting open military service by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people—was repealed well over five years ago.
