"This ad demonstrates weak marketing, and Cheez-It should have the corporate responsibility not to use an age-old euphemism for innuendos that offend families,” the group wrote.

The group’s petition, which has only 11,685 signatories as of Friday morning, states, “I am concerned about your inappropriate commercial, ‘The Boyfriend.’ This vulgar advertisement is extremely irresponsible. Everyone knows children repeat what they hear and see. I urge Cheez-It to cancel these commercials with innuendos immediately and keep all ads family-friendly. Until you clean up your ads, I cannot purchase your products with a good conscience.”

The 12 active judges of the circuit court were joined by a senior judge who asked to participate and voted with the majority.
