And they also left out ;"...with liberty and justice for all." All they are trying to say is that we are a united country.

Some people aren't happy till they can find something to be offended about.

Some people (see Rondog) have way way way too much time on their hands.

they could not have fit that in....it is VERY CLEAR that they could have fit under God in....and it would have even looked better by not having Lady Liberty jutting right againt the normal Pepsi design. Just making lady liberty a bit smaller so more words could fit would have done the job. Dr. Pepper is spreading a bunch of crap, frankly.

You can say that again!

I'm a conservative pro-life Christian. I can find a lot to be offended about, but this ad campaign by Dr. Pepper is not one of them. Good grief!

I have to agree with you. Earlier articles lead me to believe that they included the entire Pledge, sans 'under God". That riled me as well. But now I see they used just a small fraction, and the omission does not seem as heinous. I think, in this case, we may be making a mountain out of a mole hill.

OTOH, I saw that 7-Up commercial of the guy stripping and thought that showed indescibably bad taste. No 7-Up this year. But as for Dr.Pepper, that can won't stop me from having one if I want.

Actually, when I learned the Pledge of Allegiance, "under God" wasn't in it. That wasn't added til around 1954. Seems to me that adding it is offensive, not the other way around.
