A seemingly harmless ad campaign has landed the popular soft drink in hot water with Christian fundamentalists who don't believe we came from apes The image: Dr Pepper found itself in the midst of a theological debate this week, when it posted an ad called "Evolution of Flavor" on its Facebook page (see the offending graphic below). The ad, which depicts an ape completing its evolution into man upon discovering a can of Dr Pepper, has angered Christians who don't believe in the theory posited by Charles Darwin 150 years ago

While it might offend the Perpetually Pissed Off I doubt any serious Christian gives a rat’s behind about this ad.
I don't think I've ever had Fried Chucken.
Is it something where you fry the chicken, then throw it , and you have to catch it with your plate?
:-)
Actually having a big meal and a nap before taking to the streets is a good idea. Rioting and mayhem require a lot of energy.
Sunday could still work for you.
(and yer makin me hungry- hushpuppies/ corn on the cob =yum!)
Can we move on to “The Meaning of Life” next?.....Prolly do that in 50 posts or less...
This piece a pathetic attempt to troll fundamentalist Christians. The ad doesn’t bother me. I’ll continue to choose Dr. Pepper on the occasions I want a soda.
Really? Well, yuh gets yuh sumb dare cluck cluck parts an yuhz tosses em in 5 gallon drum full uh flour N spices.
Mean whilez yuh setz 20 gallons of hot peanut oilz on that thar Barb’Q and jes when duh oilz smoking yuh just chuck all that cluck cluck in duh oil an letz all duh piezez fry until dayz crispy brown .
Then you getz y’alls custom made calandar and drop all that there delicious cluck cluck and chuck it in duh dat daar calandar.
Slowly, as the oil drains away from the chucken, drizzle some red wine over it. Merlot by Two Buck Chuck is my favorite.
So let all that rest about 5 minutes to keep the juices in.
And there you have it:
Fried Cluck Cluck with an after marinade of Two Buck Chuck or us nz callz it “Chucken”...
Have no idea if thatz even remotely funny. Back on pain pills. Rotator cuff surgery is a bitch.
I haven’t read the comments on this thread yet, so will quickly put on my flak jacket.
IMO, the people opposing the commercial (which I haven’t seen) are acting no different than the Islamists are in dozens of countries; less the burning, stone throwing and killing. ......What’s next, purging all libraries of the book “The Darwin Reader” and burning them?
Christians should not act in a way that displays the same “thin skin” as the devout Muslims who go so far as to kill anyone who disagrees with their beliefs.
Clearly, some of us evolved from apes. It’s less clear that they prefer Dr. Pepper. I don’t know enough Dr. Pepper drinkers to tackle that question.
Funny? That recipe sounds delicious.
But, in light of your Rotator cuff surgery (ouch!), it sounds like you won't be able tojoin in all the fun of burning our cities down / attacking embassies, ect.... because Dr Pepper made a commercial we don't like. Too bad
(Sarcasm- for idiots reading this post who might take it seriously.)
I just can’t understand why the Christians don’t honor Islam by emulating the muzzies who will kill and destroy to protect the honor of their god. Of course, our God is big enough that it is inane to think He needs protection from mortals by other mortals....
I agree with you.
I like the taste of Dr. Pepper. I couldn’t care less if their ad insinuates that they believe in evolution. It’s an ad, not a requirement to believe or a mark of believing in the theory of evolutionary origins. Getting angry over something like that would be like protesting the Simpsons because they don’t accurately portray the nuclear power industry.
Like you said, the “outrage” is probably just a ploy by Dr. Pepper to get more air time.

Christians look at this type of anti-Christ sins as being on the heads of those who do it. Who could hate Christ? I would not want to be the soul who is in that state of heart and mind. That's insane. That's....homosexual ad men. They want to live in Sodom and this time, win the battle with fire and brimstone. :)
Sorry. I had to go to bed. The thing is, it seems that the further I go along, the fewer things I have figured out. I do know, though, that everything can be traced back to the forbidden fruit incident.
I am burning myself down with some of the best Menu I have ever had.
Yum !!!!
