Coca-Cola Super Bowl Commercial

[Termite]

Speaking of Superbowl commercials.........
I found the GM truck commercial with the rancher buying the bull, and bringing him home to the cows on the ranch to be rather amusing. "Hellloooooo, ladies....

Probably helps to understand the humor if you grew up on a ranch or cattle farm......

The Budweiser commercial with the soldier being welcomed home was awesome.

And oh yea, Jack Bauer is back to kick ass and take names. <3

America, to the rest of the world, is the promised land. It is the moon of the 1960-s. It is the city beyond the last horizon, the hope that drives the world. "One day we will go to America!" is a goal for families world wide.

The coca cola add played off of this mentality. The fact that you don't like this isn't a problem with the commercial, it is a problem with you.

You are entitled to have your opinion, and I respect your right to have it. I will, however, mock your intolerance, and would like to cordially invite you to also stop eating chinese food, mexican food, pizza, etc.. and at least be consistent with your intolerance.

I would tolerate this commercial if it came from a company without a history of human rights violations.

I don't see dirty furriners, I see sanctimonious hypocrisy.

WFT are y'all talking about? It's a commercial, it targets an audience. You ain't the audience it targets.

You see, Coca-Cola could quit advertising today and I'd never notice, and I'd still buy Coke. It's what I mix with my bourbon. You see, here in the Deep South, Coke is synonymous with Soft Drink, as in "You want a Coke?" Answer:"Yeah, whatcha got?"

Around here, Pepsi languishes on the shelf. Folks don't trust it. It tries to make inroads down at the Dollar Store, but it's market share is tiny.

Coca Cola -- it's what you clean your Bowl with so it's Super?

/meh/ It's Monday. Time to get back to making money to pay for this adventure called life.

Ticked off? Do something that matters for you. Make some money off 'em. If you don't have at least a single share of BUD and KO stock I gotta ask ya -- why? Get in the real game.

BUD has a place in my coffee can (my put 'em away and forget 'em stocks). KO is long overdue to be added to the can alongside the PEP already there.

All 3 are global brands with grinding, unstoppable, inexorable, growth in revenue and dividends. All 3 have the size and resources to adapt to changing tastes, enter new markets, capture/buy out upstarts and add them to their enormous distribution and mfg infrastructure. All 3 are likely to be here 100 years from now in one form or another while tech names of today are long forgotten. Put 'em in a coffee can and pass it along to your grandkids.

Most of us can't "stick it to da man" but most all of us can ride his coattails.

Perfect assimilation isn't required, or even desirable. What's important, is that we are all participating in the American experiment.

Those who don't want to... that's another story entirely.

That's the point I was attempting to make, put more eloquently.

"So I watched the Super Bowl this weekend."
"How was it?"
"The commercials were great!"
"How about the game? Who won?"
"I dunno. I used those long boring periods between them to go to the bathroom, pay my taxes, play with my kids, paint the house and make sure the paint dryed right......"

Commercials? I don't remember the commercials. I spent the evening cringeing, and averting my gaze all too often. That was painful.

Any given Sunday, as they say... I think if the Pats had played instead of the Broncos, they would have beaten the Seahawks handily. Yet Denver played their A game against the Pats, and beat them handily. I suspect Denver would have lost playing either NFC conference title team.
