Failed labor secretary nominee and soon-to-step-down CEO Andy Puzder has long defended the ads, saying in a 2011 press release, “We believe in putting hot models in our commercials, because ugly ones don’t sell burgers.” (Yes, that’s a real quote.)
"We don't have anything to be ashamed of," Puzder tells USA Today, insisting that the eyebrow-raising ads helped get customers in the door. But now the chain wants to widen its demographic beyond just the “hungry young guy” market, and it turns out objectifying half the population isn’t the way to do that.
Ugh.

The Morning Joe Panel seems to see that this is a very smart marketing move and metaphor for all us wanting a Grown Up in The White House.
Fun!
