Coca-Cola is taking its name off some of its beverages to make a point. The company plans to remove its name from cans in the Middle East for Ramadan.
The soft drink giant's Middle East branch made the change as part of a campaign to combat prejudice....

I just wish that Mohammedans would remove their cans.
I heard or read somewhere the head honcho for the North American Unit of Coke was also Muslim.
This is ridiculous. What accommodations will they afford Christians or Jews on true Holy Days/Weeks?
The world really has gone mad. This is a violent, political ideology; as viscous and bloodthirsty as they come. Why tolerate it much less give it respect?
I’m missing something? The brand label is offensive to Muslims????
Maybe if they reintroduced cocaine into the formula, and gave it away for free in the Middle East during Ramadan.
And this will solve what? Or, will it energize them to start telling everyone what logo they can use everywhere for anything? Just wondering...

When they had names on the cans I never saw an, “Ed”, so what is this all about?.
I’m thinking pig juice for flavoring would be more appropriate.
Huh? what? why?
Maybe they could put a picture of Muhammad on the can? Pamela Geller, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Ridiculous. Why are so many people and corporations rushing to bow down in submission before a violent, intolerant, lawless culture?
Did they lop off the top of the can too?
“The red can still has the iconic ribbon logo, but features the words: “Labels are for cans not people.””
I think more than a few people don’t get it. This isn’t as much about loving jihadis as it is sticking their finger in the eye of Christianity. I can’t remember what it’s called now, but the more feeble-minded have this ingrained urge/need to dispel mainstream ideologies and support the opposite or what they see as the underdog... real or (mostly) perceived... even if they have to make something up. For some reason, right or wrong, doing so gives them some sort of sense of importance that they are otherwise void of... a real psychologist could explain it, I can’t do it properly and give it justice. In this forum, they are commonly refereed to as lemmings, but it is a real phenomena. I would classify it is a psychosis if I have a say in the matter. In fact, this is responsible for most leftist stupidity in general. Straight is bad, gays are victims... white is bad, blacks are victims... Christian is evil, muslims are victims... men are bad, women are victims... well, you get the idea
my father worked in the soft drink industry for over 40 years. He didn’t drink it and none of his kids do either. From a health perspective you’d be better off drinking out of puddles.
More rolling over for the mussie killers. I don’t drink Coke. As I understand it they’re sales are down.
Does that apply to INFIDELS too?
their.
:)
So, what is supposed to be clever/thoughtful/tolerant, etc about this stunt?
