I am appalled when it comes to the recent ad commercial I am seeing on television for White Castles. It is very distasteful! It is the commercial that shows an elderly gentlemen in a hospital room with this wife standing beside him. Some one dressed in black (whom I presume is “Death”) is standing in doorway of the room. “Death” then gets a call and leaves the elderly gentlemen to live once again, and rushes off to a White Castles restaurant. There you will see “Death” embracing a young black boy. I think this add sends the wrong message to our children and consumers alike. Being a grandmother of young African-American boys, I don’t feel that this is appropriate to show young children. I ask that you would please consider pulling this advertisement.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
