Super Bowl Coke ad causes controversy

Strange the Coke in Mexico is made with sugar but its a pain in the ass to get here.

 

I would agree with that.

Cokes message was "America is diverse and awesome! Now drink our debilitating sugar water!"

 

As if you would know anything about such matters, but your arrogance and ignorance is duly noted.

 

Show me a corporation that doesn't pander and I'll show you a corporation going bankrupt.

 

He chose to run... with a weak ad hominem.

 

That had to do with the fact Pepsi has almost always been cheaper than Coke. Poor white communities also switched to Pepsi en mass during the depression when a nickle could get you a bottle of Pepsi twice as big as a bottle of coke for the same money.

 

Hardly! Offhand...Costco, Roche Brothers, and every convenience store in Boston has it!

 

Not really. Propaganda should be moving and inspiring. We've reduced this country to being great because "Hey,at least you can live in it!"

Even if that's "moving and inspiring" to a Liberal, it's not moving and inspiring to Conservatives, or independents or non-political affiliated people. And given the TSA/political climate, I suggest it's not even that moving to foreigners.

It's a disgraceful commercial with no saving grace except to those who already liked it.

 

Times will change as they always do, but liberals have a way of force feeding their agenda in disruptive manner and its pretty obvious that they do so only to get a reaction.

For example:

We're here... (ok, thats cool)

We're queer... (ok, don't really need to know that but whatever do your thing)

GET USED TO IT! (wait, what? who the hell are you to tell me what to get used to?)

 

Well, yeah people are laughing, but you're not supposed to know that......

 

That had to do with the fact that CocaCola from Atlanta wouldn't sell their product to black people, in those days it came in returnable bottles, and their customers wouldn't want a bottle that a negro had drunk out of, so they refused to sell the product to black establishments.
Pepsi, although a North Carolina company was not successful enough to be that choosy.

 

The liberal line is to just call everyone else a bigot and refuse to discuss the matter intelligently.

However, among us intelligent folks with an actual knowledge of history, it is a real problem when a significant portion of the population of a country is completely incapable of successfully communicating with everyone else.

I don't have a problem with diversity, but I do have a problem with the fact that there are tens of millions of people in this country whose allegiance lies someplace else, not within the country they live.

These people have turned their own countries into 3rd world hellholes. Now they're doing the same to America. For some reason, the American left is perfectly comfortable with that fact.

 

Maybe saying they'll never buy coke again? Dishonest?

 

A nation divided, yes. But that is how we became a nation. We aren't ethnical North Americans. We are all immigrants, but for the natives.
And we've always been divided. Discriminating against some ethnicity like chinese, irish, italians, etc.

 

Since when is English the sole language of the US?

 

If you hate ethnic diversity, the USA is the wrong country for you.
We are a bunch of diverse ethnicities, who for the most part managed to form a country. Now RWers seem to want to halt it.

 

I'd like to teach the world to sing, in different harmonies........
You'd be correct.

 

I don't think any controversy would have ever be an issue if it was just a bunch of different ethnic girls who sung it . But singing it in other languages was really just to far. But it was done for a reason. The capitalist and politicans need to create havoc in the US. What better way than to sing it in different languages.

 

Since its the language of our Constitution, the language of all of our laws, the language in which a judge will sentence a person, the language in which your rights are read, seems like the official language to me...

 

You're missing the point. Having foreigners sing such a song in their native languages praising America is a major propaganda coup. We know that the dummies here actually hate America but the purpose of the commercial was to broadcast to the world that assorted foreigners want God to bless what some malcontents call the Great Satan. And since there are more foreigners who can be converted than there are local dummies the commercial is a great example of excellent American propaganda at work.

 

No. Not liking the song itself is fine. Suddenly not liking it is another thing, entirely.

 

I like the original version just fine, I found the butchered version to be something that could not be listened to without wanting to vomit. I would say much the same of Rosanne Bar's rendition of the national anthem, does that make me a bigot too?

 

Oh, okay. What made it butchered, in your opinion? The tempo? Pitch? Or the assorted languages?

 

Sounds more like a common language of convenience. And when you say "all of our laws", are you excluding states like Colorado in which their constitution expressed that laws be published in Spanish and German until 1900? Are you certain that all laws in the United States ever written were published solely in English? The Louisiana Purchase brought in a lot of French speakers at the time; I bet laws there were published in French.

Really, it's government schools and the progressive homogenization that it creates that has mostly wiped out other languages until recently.

I would think that those who claim to support the foundations of the US, including the Constitution, who claim to support liberty and less government intrusion, would support the freedom to speak in the language of one's choosing.

Forcing everyone to speak one national language is hardly compatible with the ideals of liberty.
