That was one of the most beautiful unifying ads that I have ever seen. Thanks for posting it ProSense.

Tone deaf. Either they didn’t test market it, or they don’t care that it’s offensive to many.
There’s a stark difference between multiculteralism and the concept of a “melting pot” society where people come to America and become Americans instead of Hyphens.
For Coke to take sides in a political debate, intentional or not, was stupid.
New Coke Stupid.

For starters, they have gerrymandered themselves into the House majority, and have claimed the right to govern through threats of government shutdowns and debt default.

Second, and more importantly, how much carbon will we put out in the atmosphere before we turn it around. I fear that we will pass the point of no return...the tipping point.

I am worried that as the world waves goodbye to them, they will be laughing at the damage they have caused us as retribution for toppling their fictional utopia.

In that coke would not run it if they thought the mad freepers who will boycott meant enough sales to motivate them to avoid this.

And, if I recall correctly and pay enough attention to my surroundings, the demographic that drinks Coke will not find this commercial "offensive". Now, Pepsi? That's a whole other demographic, lol.

... Bruno woke me up doing that James Brown dance...then I went tv surfing in the second half after it was clear that the Broncos were permanently asleep. So I missed this beautiful ad. Thank you for providing for all of us who missed it! Anyone who finds anything wrong with the ad is un-American. We are a nation of immigrants, and I think it is the shining jewel of this country. Anyone who thinks otherwise are bigots, plain and simple. Their loss, our gain.

Nice ad though. Valuable for the message and the effect it will have on the RW.

but, to the woman singing in English -- could you just pick a fucking note and stick to it? That "scooping" just drives me bonkers. It's a sign that she's had NO training. I know this because any voice coach/instructor would hear that once and say, "Stop that!"
