Conjoined Twins Commercial is Just Wrong O'Charley's

I have eaten at your restaurants for many years. Three decades and find your food tasty.

I don't find your new commercial very tasty.

Twice As Nice Breaded two time chicken o tenders.

It features conjoined twins as you know as a host. The manager comes up and transfers one of the conjoined twins, while telling telling the other to keep up the good work.

It cuts away to the food then you see the other twin that was transferred standing at the register / hostess stand with a mustache. The manager asked the other female staff who is the new guy!

This is really in poor taste I think. Unless you are using real conjoined twins giving them a job in your company I think your commerical misses the mark and is insulting.

I just heard today where conjoined twins spent 24 hours of surgery being separated.

I think you could come up with better commercials than this. This attempt to be funny and highlight your two times breaded chicken is not really clever. Think about it! If you were conjoined how would this make you feel?

I gave this a lot of thought and everytime I see it have been bothered by it. I decided as a customer to let you know my feelings on this commerical. I asked another family memember what they thought about it and they said makes them not want to eat at your place. Same feeling I got from watching it.

I even see you are so proud of this commercial that you have it on your web site at http://www.ocharleysinc.com/

Instead of this being twice as nice - it is twice as bad. Makes me not even wish to eat at your place any longer.

I think you should cease running this commerical.

I'm not a twin, conjoined or otherwise, but I have a hard time believing that anyone who IS would be offended by it. Reply I think it is tacky by Marty5223 Tue February 17, 2009 @ 12:58 PM
