Guess they should have made another Commercial about a dangerous animal being quite loving while sharing a Cola his buddies...



The real question is why are we speaking English in America, this isn't England. We should be speaking American! We fought for the right to our own country yet we are still speaking the Queens language.

We don't speak The Queen's English here. We speak an American Dialect of English. Just ask anyone from England.



That being said, people need to remember that advertisements are NOT political statements. They're an attempt to sell a product or service to the largest number of people possible. Coke doen't care about your hurt feelings, as long as you keep buying their brown high-fructose corn syrup.

People were flipping out about the Cheerios commercial too, with the bi-racial parents.

^Yeah.....that was just plain stupid. My buddy said something along the same lines as those in the OP's statement. Didn't bother me either way.
