Coca Cola Runs Ad Campaign Featuring Gay Family; "We Choose Happiness over Tradition"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/29/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/29/2015 9:29:57 AM PDT by rightistight

Coca Cola is running ads that will appear on buses and signs featuring a gay couple and their adopted child.

The ad shows a picture of two men holding a baby, playing with crayons. A bottle of Coca Cola is next to them.

Over their heads reads, "We choose happiness ~over~ tradition. -the Van Bergen family." In the bottom right corner it reads, "#choosehappiness:"

The ad implies that, though their family is not "traditional," the Van Bergens are happy. They also drink Coke:

This gay agenda is the fever of our times.

It is a lie - I have known quite a few gay men. Few are in “committed relationships” and among those, none are monogamous. They suffer disproportionately from disease, dependency, depression and violence. Children finding stability and success in such an environment is an extreme long-shot.

Don’t believe the propaganda.

Coke obviously didn’t learn anything from JCPenney’s gay ad campaign. I knew I didn’t like Coke for more than one reason. Chunky industrial waste puke.

You raise a good point over this being anti-traditional values.

The ad presents happiness vs tradition as a choice.

In other words, one can’t be/have both. In order to be happy you must reject tradition.

So as much as this is promoting the happiness of a same-sex family, it’s also an attack on traditional families. Who are, given the choice presented, unhappy.

If people want a way to go after Coke on this, THAT is the route to take.

But what about RC Cola? I used to drink that all the time. I hope they aren’t flying the pink flag too.

RC is owned by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. You can bet they're flying the pink flag.

They all are.

I suppose that middle aged pedophiles are happy when they bugger a child. Does that kind of happiness trump the ‘tradition’ of decency?

Finally getting around to watching Mad Men, about 1/2 way through season 3. It’s 1963 in the show and Admiral Televisions is appalled that advertising firm is suggesting a campaign aimed at Negros.

Interesting when viewed in context of this new ad campaign today as far as how much the world has changed in 50 years.

Coke hasn’t exactly been growing over the last few years. In fact, I recently read where their Diet Coke is down 5%.

If they don’t like my values, I won’t be buying their products. I will communicate this to several of my family members too.

Besides, their products are bad for you.

“a gay couple and their adopted child.”

Why the desire to raise a child if they are truly homosexual? Wouldn’t their nature proclude them from having that desire or are they denying their true nature and chosing to enter into unnatural sexual relations?

Pedophiles also choose happiness over tradition. So do serial killers. I guess we should simply abandon all morals.

I bet we are about the same age and live or was raised pretty close to each other...*LOL*

If the didn’t have RC Cola, it was, “A big orange dope and a moon pie...”

No more Coke or Coke products. I choose water over sodomy.

Romans 1:18-32... For kthe wrath of God lis revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,7 in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and qexchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
