America Is Beautiful, and Coca-Cola is for Everyone

Agreed.
Heh. Well, I’d have it even worse - I live in NYC. So, even if there were any retailers near me who weren’t specifically nominated for boycott, I’d still have to boycott them because they’re in New York. (does that mean I have to boycott myself? hmmmm....)
No didn't but that can't be blamed on Coca Cola with so many of our representatives voting for gay marriage and Courts saying 'it's constitutional'.
No more “Coke” products at this house until they apologize to the American people. If they want to move to China or where the heck ever, have at it. I like Canada Dry anyway.
I agree with you. The hype before the cherios commercial was aired created the controversy, not the commercial itself. It was just a short period of benign entertainment in a boring superbowl.
America Is Beautiful, and Coca-Cola is for Everyone
Nope.
Not me.
More like diverse family is the new normal.
Hi George, I set up a Face Twitter Blog page, I was concerned that the NSA didn’t have enough to do, I thought that would help to keep them busy!
Disagree. The Coke ad was offensive. They picked the wrong song. You wanna buy the world a Coke in a whole bunch of different languages? Sing that song.
You want to open our borders up to anyone that wants to come in? I’ll drink something else.
Why must my soft drinks be politicized or make a statement?
No, I disagree. Cheerios was a politically-correct message, yes, but the Coca-Cola ad trammeled where they shouldn't have -- on sacrosanct elements of American tradition.
I might groan at the Cheerios ad but I wouldn't protest it. Yes, we all know that the selection of actors and actresses was not accidental but deliberate; meaning, Cheerios was trying to "teach tolerance" in addition to selling their products. Also, you'll note that the man was black and the woman was white, which was rarely the case for interracial marriage even 20 years ago.
The Coke ad was in a different league. About the only thing that might have been worse would have been to sung the Star-Spangled Banner in Spanish, with some changes to the lyrics, and with the Obama flag waving the in background. Had they, the response would have been nuclear.
