@Dirks9901 Pop? LOL You're from the midwest for sure!

The message is much different than Gillette. It doesn't vilify a group of people like the Gillette ad did. The overall theme is actually a good one: you feel pride when someone you love has the confidence to be themselves. The context of the ad leaves a lot to be desired. Remember, less than 4% of Americans are homosexual. That is a really small target market for this ad. Weird they would create something like this...

LOL yep! Haha good call man. I forgot about that. Most of the country thinks we’re weird af for saying “pop” over soda.

Boioioioioioing.... got me there i guess.

Call me old fashioned but i prefer to not have to explain to my young kids WTF the just saw on a popular drink TV ad.

Gross.

Normalizing the behavior is only going to make it all worse .....
You can't let stuff like that eat at you. Now, I do get worked up now and then, but usually when someone is trying to tread on me.

But, in general, if someone else isn't bothering me, I don't bother them.

My kids were always taught to love your neighbor. That doesn't mean you have to condone anything they do, it just means to treat them like you want to be treated.

Sometimes you've got to pick and choose your battles.

Anyway. Drag queens are a hilarious bunch.

I don't care if someone wants to live a certain way.

But then again I don't like the idea of two dudes mashing on each other

I'm not triggered but I am disgusted and being a business owner I have no idea wtf coke is thinking. I never understood what gilette was thinking. I don't understand what hollywood is thinking with movies like dark fate, charlies angels, the new bond etc. Then they blame everyone but themselves when there products lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

While the ad is gay as aids, at least they aren’t telling all men we are pieces of shit. So that’s a plus i guess?

With that being said, I don’t drink pop so no care here.

I’m with you. Although I don’t particularly care for the comercial. I don’t see an attack / smear campaign on any particular group.

Homo away!

Gross. Marketing to less than .5% because trans is not ****ing real but it is a real diagnosis in the DSM. **** me. We all know what this is, they are mainstreaming LGBT shit. This was not happening 5 years ago and now it's major television commercials.

......is sick!

That commercial is all about normalizing deviant behavior. That crap is being pushed on our children, promoted in our schools, and on and on! I haven't seen that particular commercial yet on tv. Hope I don't. :eek: Normal is abnormal! Abnormal is normal! :rolleyes::mad:
