and he was a great guy (i lived in columbus, ohio for a few years - wendy's everywhere there, as he founded it there). he was also adopted, and donated a TON of money to adoption organizations...
Aw, that's too bad. He had a cool, regular-guy presence in those commercials.
I wonder how Wendy's restaurants are handling it? Do you think the employees are perhaps wearing a ribbon or armband or something? Or that they're put a sign/poster somewhere, acknowledging it?
Should've gone to Wendy's tonight for a burger, just to assess the vibe/mood.
Yeah, I'll miss the ol' guy. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> He was just in his late 60's if I recall correctly. He'd been having some medical troubles for a while and was also diabetic.
Wendy's is the favorite burger place for colleges since they're open 'til 1 am. There's always a long line around the building for the drive-thru at 12:45 am at the Wendy's nearest to NCSU.
Now we hear all the cool stuff about Dave. He was an advocate and strong supporter for adoption being adopted himself. He aslo only had a high school degree. Never went to college. One of the cool things is that he thought that if he had then Wendy's would have been and even bigger success. It's nice to hear that rather than, "eff that! I didn't need it!"
While I don't really wish death on him, and that comment was in bad taste, I don't like the man.
1. He's racist.
2. He's ultraconservative and donates millions to pro-life political candidates.
3. He's a buffoon (have you ever seen his training videos?)</strong><hr></blockquote>
You didn't answer the question so I had to search it out myself. I guessed right. He is the Carl's Jr. guy. Now what information do you have to support that he's a racist?
As far as I can tell he supports pro life candidates. What a horrible crime (he gave $30,000 to the red cross too, horror)

I kind of liked that guy. Sad to see him go. Please don't tell me he had a heart attack?

Just when he was starting to get this acting thing down...
Rest in Peace.

But seriously, welcome...
I plan on posting new ones later this week.
<strong>Too bad the grim reaper couldn't have taken Carl Karcher instead!
Who's that and why are we wishing death on him?
Carl's Jr?
Meow.
<strong>Save Jack, Dave was the coolest fast food icon.

Yes, R.I.P. He did over 800 commercials (!) and hated doing them. I like the fast food too. Probably go downhill now...

I'll have to tell my dad that... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
Tasteless? You decide. The Arizona Republic refused to run it.
