"I've given up Coke..."

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".
Yeh, that’s not appropriate for children.
All this over that commercial? I thought it was pretty lame, actually.
*snicker*
And any available Afghan viewers ...
"I've given up Coke..."
That Burger King ad was also TARGETED at kids.
HAHAHA ahhh the good old days of Chris Farley and Adam Sandler. Chris Farley did a pretty funny Newt Gingrich impression...but I miss the Phil Hartman “Bill Clinton” impression most. God It’s depressing being nostalgic for the Clintoon years.
There’s a minute of my life that I want back.
Classic
I really don’t understand what the problem is. It’s not particularly offensive in any regard - it’s a sort of a tribute to the high-octane action genre which was the point of the ad. Are the mean-faced clipped-haired women angry that an ad depicted a male leaving a female for more attractive women? That’s the only thing I could see.
...whats the prob here?
