Redheads Protest Wendy’s, Saying Logo Is Inaccurate

by Scott Beale on July 24, 2007 · 11 comments

Improv Everywhere, those wonderful NY pranksters that “cause scenes”, just completed their latest mission “Redheads”, where over 50 redheads protested a New York City Wendy’s for their inaccurate portrayal of redheads with their Wendy’s mascot logo. Here’s their full report, which includes some great photos and video.

Does anyone honestly believe Wendy’s is trying to insinuate that red headed people are square? I don’t. I believe the logo was made to promote Wendy’s restaurants as being friendly and inviting.

this is just another case where a bunch of stupid people with no lives get together to bitch about something that means absolutely nothing to 99.9% of us. Who gives a shit if Wendy’s hair is red, green, blonde or blue?? I have zero respect for every loser that showed up to voice their concerns that their stupid feelings were hurt.

I bet a million to one, that 9 out of 10 of those freaky redheads never even considered it an issue until this stupid watch dog group decided to latch on to something to protest that day.

What a joke. I feel more stupid for America as a whole for having just read and viewed what I did. No wonder the rest of the world hates us. As a whole, we are a pathetic group of misfits that is so worried about being PC that we make stupid decisions and statements every day.

I have lost some of my desire to someday date a red head now.

As a redhead, I find this quite…silly, idiotic, etc. Were those people really aggravated about the logo? Or were they just doing it for fun? (I wasn’t able to watch the video, so I’m uncertain as to the content of it. Surely there was an interview with one of the protesters.) Either way, I’m a redhead, and I’m not offended. The logo is supposed to be an image of “Dave’s” grand-daughter (or daughter) anyway. Silly people.

Uh… don’t you guys realize this is making a statement that political correctness can go too far? Also, it’s funny!

For you blithering idiots that comment without doing a little research:

Improv Everywhere is an improvisational comedy group that creates public scenes as satire. The ‘protest’ is a joke; turns out the joke is on you.

OMG I love how people are actually trying to take this serious and thinking people are actually insulted by the wendy’s fire crotch haha!

this is something fun, entertaining, not political correctness

so lets keep it that way.

keep kicking ass improv everywhere…
