I always drink and will continue to drink RC Cola. I thought the ad was horrible.

I guess my America is different than Coke's vision. I keep cases of TEA for TEA Parties. TEA Party Boy photo TEAEmmett.jpg

I was barely watching, and glanced at the screen since the words were unclear to me. The first thing I saw was a Muslim ragheaded woman. Yes it was offensive, especially knowing that Muslim women want Sharia, not freedom.

No he's not.

Irritating to many, but not a troll.

This Coke ad was even more shocking than the beat down suffered by the Tim Tebow-less Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl.

In the end, it is rather bitter-sweet, America being outraged and offended by the Coke ad and Tim Tebow proving that he should have remained as the Broncos QB.

As for Coca-Cola, this may be the end as millions upon millions of Americans will boycott the company.

Multiculturalism is a stupid idea in the first place.
I mean really...what sort of IDIOT would ever think that “we are all united by our differences” could even remotely work to bring cohesion to a society?

Diversity worship is un-American.

When America was a “Melting Pot”, immigrants who came here were eager to change, to adjust to the American culture, learn the language and become full-fledged Americans.

Now liberals have convinced immigrants to join together into victim groups and demand that America (and American citizans) adjust to accomodate them.

Liberals are in favor of anything that keeps groups and individuals from finding common ground.

The idiocy of multi-cultural laws like those that require election ballots be printed in many languages is mind numbing.
All these kinds of actions do is help the liberals keep us all separated.

But then, the last thing liberals want is for Americans to unite.

Besides being offensive, the ad made no sense. Why would people in other countries sing a US national song? We don't sing theirs. That doesn't mean we don't get along.

It was jarring to hear the song sung in languages that aren't even spoken by immigrants in the US.

If they want to do the whirled peas thing, bring back "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke." It's saccharine, kum by ya and unrealistic, but it's a nice song.

Oh.. by the way...

Your Examiner blog doesn’t belong in “News”..

Because it’s a blog. Not news.

You could also catch less grief by not excepting blogs on Free Republic.

If you are really trying to get information out to others, why not post it here?
