COCA-Cola has been forced to can a TV ad that authorities say suggested women should be available for sex whenever men want it.
The Advertising Standards Bureau found the ad, though light-hearted, was inappropriate to be on TV when children were watching.
It was the second embarrassment in a month for the soft drink giant, after it had to admit incorrect health claims in print ads featuring actor Kerry Armstrong.
The latest controversy erupted over a Coke Zero ad, titled "Break-up as it should be".

Coke Zero ads are some of the absolute worst.
"We're going to sue our parent company for stealing our taste."
On a par with Geico-Eyeballs and Cavemen and any Alltell Chad commercials.

If you think that vintage ad is “raunchy,” ... Well, I’m sorry, you’re either a prude, or vocabulary deficient. (LOL)
“Suggestive” is the word for it; because it is a perfectly innocent ad, however, depending on the mind of the viewer it can be twisted into something risque,(but NOT raunchy!)

Check this Coke Zero ad for the Spanish speaking market: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNaVwsx7Fp4

It’s certainly not as annoying as those Quizno’s “Tasty Torpedo” ads.

I don’t drink Pepsi because of their Obama logo all over their packaging. Now I’ll stop Coke too. Guess I will start drinking Sam’s Cola. It’s pretty good.
I drink good ole fashioned RC Cola instead of Obama Pepsi and Coke is just nasty.
