Thanks for the contact info.
Apparently, all the apologetic e-mails we who complained last time received were meaningless. It's time for a large scale boycott. Spread the word. Not just here, any other boards you belong to (whether men's rights oriented or not). Don't buy Hefty products.

Does anyone know if Hefty has a parent company? Any subsidiaries of the parent company? Any subsidiaries of Hefty?

Could you check on the URL you provided for PACTIV above? It isn't a valid web page at the PACTIV site.

Actually, that was a company information page. They have a feedback form here.

Yup. I sent them one last night, and told them I do NOT want there appologies anymore. I wasn't very kind either, and some may have dissaproved of the language I used, but thats too bad. I'm fed up. They get to see enough complaints, but I'm livid, and they now know it, as well as the fact they have lost my business forever, as well as making sure everyoine I know here's about it.
No more pussy-footing here.

I just called the 800 number (800-828-2850) and the person who I wound up speaking with defended the ad, saying it was not man bashing but an attempt to be humerous, but she could not tell me what the ad said. When I read what the posting said about the ad she could not respond except to repeat the above BS. I said if that was so humerous why don't they try reversing the sexes. I said that neither I nor my roommate will buy Hefty anymore, and I meant it. I then referred her to this site.

Thanks for the number, Marc. Methinks Hefty is going to get a voice complaint from me this time as well.
In fact, folks, let's flood that line with calls.

People should dial 888-828-2850 and hit zero.

I haven't bought any of Hefty's stinking products since I first saw the add last year. So the boycott is in full swing in my house.
I also sent them an e-mail protesting their misandry.

I will make certain to never purchase Hefty products in the future. Further, I will inform friends, ect., to do the same. If they get enough protest over this, they will back down. Please, everyone, let Hefty know of your disapproval.

My dad and I were disgusted by this very same commercial last week. Honestly, where do these ad companies get off in this whole game of blatant character attacks? What was OUR last commercial? I feel like getting involved in some campaigning with these companies, because this stuff has to go. Could they at least restrict these misandrist commercials to the myriad of Womens' Networks that are on-air now?

I just got back this response from my e-mail about the Hefty commericial.
""""Thank you for taking the time to express your opinions concerning our
recent, "If I had a man like Hefty," advertising spot. We regret if any
offense was caused. Certainly, none was intended. In light of the
advertisement's context, we cannot agree with your conclusions. Your
opinions, however, were shared with appropriate parties and have been
noted.
Sincerely,
Arlene Stafford
Consumer Affairs Representative
Pactiv Corporation""""
Here is my reply to the above:
""""Hello Ms Stafford,
Thank you for your quick response to my concern about the misandric Hefty commercial.
And of course I noted you lack of agreement.
Please be advised that I will continue to chose other products over yours because of this situation and will encourage others to do the same.
Thank you for your time.""""
DON'T BUY HEFTY PRODUCTS!!!

Invariably, whenever an offense is caused, no offense was "intended" and therefore the blame for the offensive interpretation rests solely and exclusively with the offendee. F Hefty!

If offense was caused but none was intended, the 'offender' would appologise and stop doing the thing that offends. If they keep doing something that they know offends people they cannot claim that no offense is intended. I think they must keep their brains in their stupid rubbish bags.

Very well stated. If the original offense was not intended, then the only logical solution would be to stop that action that offends certain parties. If the offense is continued, then it is intended. Heffy... ahh, another good company turned biggit.
