St. Louis Cardinals Fan Writes Letter To The Editor Saying That The New Hardee's Commercial Is Basically Porn And Made His Whole Family Cry

(Source) Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and pornography. That’s what you’ll get if you watch the St. Louis Cardinals on TV. Every fan I know has remarked on the filthy Hardee’s commercial featuring a nearly nude woman writhing in soap suds. It’s pornography, pure and simple.

A few Sundays ago I sat down with my family after church to watch the Cardinals. When this commercial came on, my 86-year-old mother, almost in tears said, “Why do they have to do this?” My 13-year-old granddaughter hid her face and my 11-year-old grandson was so embarrassed, he didn’t know where to look. My 89-year-old father — who played baseball in the St. Louis Browns organization — apologized “I’m sorry this is on my TV,” as if it were his fault.

Then it came on again, and my mom grabbed for the remote to try to turn the channel. We were all embarrassed. And then it came on again, and I got mad.

I couldn’t help but think of Stan Musial, the standard bearer of the Cardinals and a man of impeccable character. He had to be looking down from heaven with tears in his eyes.

Since then, I’ve called the offices of team owner Bill DeWitt Jr. and president Bill DeWitt III and left five messages. I have not had the courtesy of a return phone call. Unfortunately, Hardee’s money trumps fans’ concerns. Maybe thousands need to call the DeWitts. Will they listen?

I honestly can’t tell if this is real or not. It’s so perfect I feel like it may be a troll. Everything about it is so Cardinals. The mentioning of Church, the fact that he had THREE generations of Cardinals fans all sitting around the TV to watch the game, bringing up Stan Musial, “THE STANDARD BEARER OF THE CARDINALS”, talking about how Stan the Man must have been crying, calling the front office and leaving FIVE voicemails. Just unreal.  Like if you want to explain to someone why Cardinals fans suck just show them this letter. These are the best fans in baseball to a T. All they want to do is watch their team play America’s Past Time without seeing porno. Is that so much to ask for?!?!?! Is it???

Oh and Bryan Cox needs to find this family and lock them up. If you’re complaining about a commercial being too sexual you’re exactly who we should be looking out for.

PS

The visual of a St. Louis family from ages 11 to 89 sobbing as a TV plays a pretty standard commercial for 2014 is just so perfect. Norman Rockwell’s new America.
