And while this is going on Chick-Fil-A has been pressured into stopping their donations (over $2 million annually) to Christian organizations because of LGBTQZWABCDFGHI protests at their stores....makes total sense. I suppose that's good too. I bet not one conservative goes and protests in front of the Coca-Cola or Gilette offices. The difference is conservatives live by "live and let live" and liberals live by "live and live like me or die".

Good for sprint. Glad they had the balls to stand up for what is right.

So badass you can’t even get the name right.

It's nice to see a company stand up for what they believe in even if 95% of the mainstream don't care to see it. As someone else said, I think it will still be an effective way to advertise.

So you’d be good with the NRA putting out an ad with dad taking his 8 year old to the gun store and buying Johnny his first .22. .....Then the video cuts to their home where dad shows the kid how to break down the gun, clean it, along with cleaning the game they just killed for dinner that night?

Didn’t think so.

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.

You have zero business sense. Piss of 95% of your customers? No major company "stands up for what they believe in". All they care about is revenue and meeting earnings every quarter...

I disagree that doing whatever it takes to grab peoples attention is a great way to advertise. As a business owner with over 18 locations I can assure you we do not practice that thinking and if I was bringing in the kind of money coke was I sure as hell would never pull a stunt like this just to get attention. Here is what sprite just did with that commercial (for me)...

....Anytime I need to buy soda of any kind for a party, event, family etc etc etc I will buy any product other than coke products. This is exactly what I do with gilette now.

How did gilette do with that commercial? They lost 8 billion dollars. 8 billion dollars. I would venture to say coke is risking much more because the gilette ad pissed off mostly men but the sprite ad pisses off men and women. My wife and her friends have already boycotted them. People are talking about it. Unfortunately talking about it and getting peoples attention doesn't always equal revenue. Using Howard Stern as an example was irrevalant. When i'm in my car it doesnt cost me anything to turn his bullshit on. When i'm in the store and my wallet is doing the talking I will remember the sprite commercial and NEVER purchase a coke product ever again.

These companies will be learning the hard way. Just like hollywood is. My favorite new slogan is "GET WOKE AND GO BROKE!!!"

Coca Cola just did? Is coca cola a major company? It's advertising, we forget about it 10 minutes after its done. I really doubt Coca cola launched this without considering the consequences it would bring. Why people have to be so damn offended by a company's opinion on something is ridiculous.

Yeah and then I’d go on the internet and make a thread bashing them.

Beauty and Drama are pretty much the same, it is in the mind of the observer. One man's fact, could be another man's drama. The fact that a majority of folks on here don't want freakish ***, cross dressing trannies blasted into their living rooms is not drama. The drama is actually coming from the bleeding hearts that some how think this crap is tolerable.

I'll just add to what Skitz said and say, most of us don't give a rats ass what anyone does in the privacy of their own bedroom, but when they try to normalize behavior like this by shoving it out to media outlets, that's where I draw the line. No matter how much you preach tolerance to me, you'll never convince me that this behavior is normal.
