Switch to root beer
I have no doubt that Coke has an agenda that is antithetical to US nationalism because they are a global company. I think the thing that causes the rub is our expectation that they ( and numerous other seemingly US companies) are still chiefly a US citizen. It is our world view that has been led askew. This ad simply highlights our misunderstanding of the CocaCola’s of the world.
I agree. I did not like more of this goopy, cloying, cutsie-pie multiKulturalism. What ever happened to Americanism? Too much “diverse” immigration is killing it. Of cousre we have many immigrants who really get what America is about.
But for 80% of immigrants America is just an economic zone where they can live better than at home. An economic zone without enforceable borders. Their attitude is >>How dare you enforce border entry and controls!!! This is racist!!
72% of the United States is white.
were 72% of the actors white? no? then i guess they don’t want their business
I don’t have a problem with Coke posting an add using foreign languages as long as they do it in the home country of the language they are using.
That said, This is America. We speak American. Everyone in our ciuntry needs to learn American or go home
This is just the 21st century version of the huggy-wuggy I’d “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” ads Coke did in the ‘60s.
The last touchy-feely ad they got right was the Mean Joe Greene ad in the 70s.
I prefer Diet A&W root beer which is among the Dr. Pepper products. I also enjoy Diet Mug root beer but that is unfortunately a Pepsi product.
No more Coca Cola products in this house, ever! Instead of Coke and Sprite it will be the Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group’s (Plano, TX) RC Cola and 7-Up.
As soon as I see little rug rats on my TV, singing God knows what in their gibberish - I commpletely tune out.
Yes, but there *are* people who immigrate here -- or are elsewhere but dream of immigrating here -- because of the kind of liberty and opportunity that makes the USA special. People who really see this country as a beacon. And those are the people I deem to be depicted in the ad. It's true that the America-hating types (illegal alien welfare leeches, Sharia-law fans, etc.,) wouldn't be singing that song in any tongue... which is how we know it's not about them.
Coke pretending to fight for all languages when it surrenders America... how quaint.
Pedophiles pushing children as shields speaking once ghetto ebonic pride is now the rule.
No.
It ....... ISN'T ..... a ....... commercial.
It's a very slickly produced piece of propaganda, and not just propaganda for the purpose of selling a physical product for money.
More to the point:
It's NEVER just entertainment, or just music, or just a movie, or just an ad.
The propagandists WANT you to dismiss their product as mere advertising or mere entertainment. They WANT you to unconsciously wallow in their ideas and ideology ... they WANT you to turn your mind off. Only then can they warp your mind.
Maybe Coke has a problem with the very exact translation of the Bible KJV.
How the world sees us.
"America the Beautiful" in a dozen different forms of noticeably accented English reinforces American cultural unity.
Coca-Cola deliberately, willfully, with malice aforethought spent millions of dollars to undermine American cultural unity under the guise of selling an American product to Americans.
Indeed. This is pimping much like a ponzy scheme. There is much more to the Drink in this, but corporate stakes and investors are also attracted. Coke is a brand, the drink is only an icon.
Basically lobbyists in DC represent corporations and foreign nations. The State base has no respect.
Coke, like most corporations, will invoke everything but the Bible.
The American English’s beauty is of having integrated Cezh words like Dollar , Greek words like OK etc... like no other language nation has done before.
Coke has invented nothing and errs.
I indeed smell some gay agenda in this... this commericial is deceitful and not coming out the closet.
Well said.
