I think the thing to remember is that Wendy's, and the majority of
commercials, poke fun at another country far more than the Soviet Union: The
United States. I can think of quite a few Wendy's commercials that have
portrayed the average US citizen as an incredible concoction of dope and
oddball.
Hell, if the Soviet Union wanted to firebomb the American image through
advertising, they could hardly do better than Herb, the Burger King Wonder.
"The Soviet Union, which has complained recently about
alleged anti-Soviet themes in American advertising, lodged
an official protest this week against the Ford Motor
Company's new campaign: `Hey you stinking fat Russian, get
off my Ford Escort.'"
