Coca Cola Runs Ad Campaign Featuring Gay Family; "We Choose Happiness over Tradition"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/29/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/29/2015 9:29:57 AM PDT by rightistight

Coca Cola is running ads that will appear on buses and signs featuring a gay couple and their adopted child.

The ad shows a picture of two men holding a baby, playing with crayons. A bottle of Coca Cola is next to them.

Over their heads reads, "We choose happiness ~over~ tradition. -the Van Bergen family." In the bottom right corner it reads, "#choosehappiness:"

The ad implies that, though their family is not "traditional," the Van Bergens are happy. They also drink Coke:

Me too. Giving up pop is probably the best health decision I’ve ever made. Dropped 20 lbs. from that alone. I had no desire to become a fat old diabetic.

Maybe they are brothers.

I can boycott Coke.

Now if only I could get my DH to boycott Pepsi for being such a blatant Uhbama supporter, down to the re-fashioned logo.

Coca-Cola, like all sugary sodas (as well as diet ones), are garbage that does ZERO but harm the body anyway — so no big loss. It just gives folks another reason to stop drinking stupid. What really bugs me is that my bank, Wells Fargo, is also going for this homosexual normalization crap, and switching banks for me will be a major PITA. Oh well.

Coca Cola company BRANDS ... straight from the horse's mouth.

When you buy these brands, you're buying sodomy.

Strange that a Turkish Muslim CEO of Coca Cola Muthar Kent would be so supportive of homosexuality. I wonder if he is approving these types of pro homosexual ads in other countries where Coca Cola is sold like China, Africa, Latin America etc..

My 89-year-old aunt recently moved to an assisted-living home, and in going through her house, she gave me something she deeply treasured. It’s a metal Coca-Cola carrying case, designed for six bottles. She told me she used it for years, starting in the mid-1940s after her marriage, to take back her empty bottles to the grocery store, walking many blocks. I really appreciated that gift.

Anyway, I just find it so unspeakably sickening to see such iconographic americana turn to such evil and depravity. It truly makes me want to vomit. I used to be one of the biggest supporters of buy-American around, but now I just see corporate America (pushing things like open-borders and faggotry) doing all it can to destroy everything I once loved about this country, all while spitting in the face of my entire value system. I’ve grown to view “corporate America” with the same disdain I once held for the Soviet empire. An enemy.

Nowadays, I do all I can to limit the products I purchase (and the stores I frequent) to small or local businesses.

And they choose to deprive their trophy child of a mother. But coke doesn’t care. Maybe they will change their bottles to a more convenient shape to use.

When you buy these brands, you’re buying sodomy.

you ever notice that in all these homocentric commercials there’s always a kid involved, and the obvious question, one so evident that even a preschooler will notice it, of how these two twinkies managed to produce offspring is simply left out altogether...shouldn’t their seamy involvement with the money grubbing surrogacy business be presented, in order to properly set the stage...? Shouldn’t there be some visible certificate on the wall, or something, that shows what it really takes to be twinkie-daddy...?

Firstly, expecting honesty from the advertising industry is almost as foolish as expecting honesty from the politics industry ...

Secondly, all those two are likely to produce together is “Mr. Hanky, the Christmas Poo”.

Maybe it’s time to buy lots of RC Cola.

But can you get the moon pies to go with it?

Coke just made it onto the ban list. Once on it, it NEVER comes into this house. Not that one little customer makes a difference to big companies but the lose off lots of little customers sends a message. Coke obviously didn’t learn from JC Penney.

I prefer the taste of HEB cola anyways.

And at half the price. Only they don't stock Dr. B very often.

“OH NO, now I have to quit drinking coke”
The only time I drink coke is when I have a coke and rum. So as I don’t feel gay no more coke and rum for me.
