“... has angered Christians ...”
I call BS. This is a marketing ploy by Dr Pepper.
I’m a Creationist Christian, and the Gieco apeman doesn’t bother me. It’s part of our cultural mythology.
Yeah, but I still wish he'd bash that f'ing lizard with a club...right before he drags Flo (Progressive Insurance) to his cave by her hair.
Besides, I have a crush on Jessica ("Is your car up a pole again?") of State Farm. Wholesome Dakota girl and all that.
Cheers!
I call B.S., too. I think it’s manufactured outrage to make Christians look ignorant, uneducated and intolerant. This type of evolution imagery has been a cultural meme for a very long time and has had other graphical uses, which I think is a funny way to mock the real chart. I find it hard to believe that there really is Christian outrage and boycotting over this. Come to think of it, I think my daughter has a similar graphic on a t-shirt about the evolution of something else.
What? Thought it was Gecko? /S Meep, Meep!
I agree with you.
I like the taste of Dr. Pepper. I couldn’t care less if their ad insinuates that they believe in evolution. It’s an ad, not a requirement to believe or a mark of believing in the theory of evolutionary origins. Getting angry over something like that would be like protesting the Simpsons because they don’t accurately portray the nuclear power industry.
Like you said, the “outrage” is probably just a ploy by Dr. Pepper to get more air time.
