Hardees's new ads in Pakistan

[root]

Creative ad i see nothing wrong in it.

 

[Mabs]

now that is progress!
by virtue of this ad alone, we will produce more mathiras, phd's , indigenous jet engines and such.
after all lack of begharti was holding our progress back!

Progress is to not resort to violence even if you disagree with the advert and register your dissent with civility.

There is beautiful couplet by Allama Iqbal:

Will take me a century to decode that

Aik tou writing hi nai parhi jari opper say half the words are new to me so cant even guess em

Will take me a century to decode that

Aik tou writing hi nai parhi jari opper say half the words are new to me so cant even guess em

This is poem by Allam Iqbal; the title is "Ghulam Qadir Rohella". I am posting the translation here.

How cruel, tyrant and vindictive the Ruhilah was
He blinded the Mughal Emperor with the point of his dagger

The tyrant ordered members of the royal household to dance
This tyranny was no less than the Judgment Day’s signal

For the delicate ladies of the royal household it was
Utterly impossible to comply with this shameless order

Ah! The merciless one made them the means of pleasure
Whose beauty had been veiled from sun’s, moon’s and stars

The feeble hearts were throbbing, the feet were forced to move
A river of blood was flowing from the wet eyes of the princesses

For some time his eyes remained thus absorbed in seeing
In confusion he freed his head from the load of Mighfar

He untied the deadly, fire‐spitting sword from the waist
Whose sharpness was a source of luminescence to the stars

He put the dagger in front, and lied down in some thought
Sleep was demanding rest from the red eyes so to say

The water of sleep extinguished the embers of his eyes
The tyrant’s sight became ashamed of the painful spectacle!

He got up and started saying this to Taimur’s household
“You should have no complaint against your fate”

My sleeping in the couch was a mere show, an affectation
Because stupor is foreign to the dignity of fighters

It was my intention that some daughter of Taimur
Considering me unconscious might kill me with my own dagger,

But at last this secret has dawned to the whole world
Concern for honor has departed from Taimur’s household.”

Of course not....Those who term human beings as their sisters only see something wrong with it others have no such feelings and prob wouldnt mind their sis doing the ad right

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Over a thousand Shia Hazara have been murdered. More will be murdered. We in fact have slow motion genocide going on. Large numbers of our people are starving. Huge chunks of the country is lawless. We have a rapacius ruling class that is pocketing most of the money that ends in our national treasury either by tax or loans.

Millions of us have had to leave our homeland to make a living. More millions would leave if only they could. Yet some members here can only see two buns on Hardees.

And people think why we have problems in Pakistan?

Priorities. Priorities. Priorities.

It all depends on how you perceive the ad.It is just a funny ad.

Its not about perception but more about ability to point a wrong a wrong....

In a world where rape can be joked about....same comedians would die if someone joked about their daughter....if it is wrong for their daughter to be in the joke it is wrong for anyone's daughter to be in such a joke....

Likewise if it is wrong for your daughter to wear or be seen in such a perception then it is def wrong for ANYONE else's daughter / mother no matter what age she is (30-40) to behave in such a way....

Do you know this industry due to demands (under the creativity and funny banner) pays more to women willing to wear less than women who would wear more?

Would you let your mother/ sister / daughter be involved with such a society who has such thinking?

Indeed priorities, which begin for you from the problems you mentioned above; for others, they start from moral and cultural and religious values.

For some it is perfectly fine to grab money in return of taking off clothes but for others, a money earned this way is worthless; yes, priorities and choices, you are right.

Yes i agree Hardees did a stupid thing should be given notice to avoid such kind of ads in future.Such kind of ad could be acceptable in USA but not in Pakistan.

*The last time we had a tangle I decided to simply avoid having direct discussion with you. However since you tagged me I will make a exception.

Indeed. To the private me, moral, cultural and religious values are of primary importance as they apply to me and my family. This is because I have 100% input and control over my private domain.

At the public level my priority is lawlessness, poverty and corruption in Pakistan because only as a society can we resolve those issues.

Thus my focus on those public issues that require public resolve. My private affairs are my private issues. I will resolve my private issues thank you.

For some it is perfectly fine to grab money in return of taking off clothes but for others, a money earned this way is worthless; yes, priorities and choices, you are right

My wife, my sisters, my mother, my extended family members will not and if they did I would not be talking on public forum. Trust me I would sort it out myself.

You also need to focuss on your own and not worry about "some" unless you have problems at home and need public help to clean your house?

If you don't have moral issues at home that require public help why not instead focuss on those issues that require societal intervention to sort out?

You do know West is not made of sheep ....In Pakistan there are people who wanna be more gora than the goray:

​‘Sexist, offensive’ weight loss ads spark London protest — RT UK

now in 2015, the ads have never been worse, according to Kilbourne. Today, people view sexist ads from the weird old days as cheap nostalgia. Yet while women may have progressed, the ads haven’t caught up. Advertisers still decide sexed-up frail specimens through the eyes of men is the way to go. Even worse, it’s still working for them.

Women’s Image Expert Jean Kilbourne on the Problem With Fashion Ads Today | Styleite

Objectification is the "process of representing or treating a person like an object" rather than an equal human being with rights. If you believe that women have human rights and equal rights, then you should not support or participate in any objectification of women. The advertising industry, fashion industry, media, GOP, corporations and some in government use objectification as one of the tools to dehumanize women so that we are not treated with human rights or equality.

I think there are some "human beings" in every society....They do voice out but just coz majority is blind and stupid doesnt mean it does right now does it?

It is because I live in a society and not in a jungle. What happens in the society affects me and people around me hence a healthy society is desirable to live and raise family. You think Rasool Allah (PBUH) needed public help to clean his house and that is why he was concerned about what was going on around him?
