Yeah, that is what it is. Heard about it on Mike and Mike. Thought it was funny when they asked him why he hasnt had a late night show like Leno and he said that he doesnt think he can fake caring about alot of the guests that he would have to have on the show.

I was at first (idiotically) ticked at the Coca-Cola commercial ('Murica), but then I realized how brilliant it is/was, considering the melting pot that our great nation is. This is a country full of immigrants, and only a select few can say their ancestry has true native ties to its soil. Those who bitch about Coca-Cola not using English throughout the whole commercial are too dense to understand what this great country was established to be.

Congratulations on paying to use a credit card...we're all impressed.

We have a winner!!

I'm not surprised at the outrage stemming from the commercial. I love this country, but holy fuck...so full of stupid. It's embarrassing.

The level of butthurt on both sides over a silly soda commercial has been pretty entertaining. My Twitter feed has been like a comedy club today.

You should probably stick to building cabinets. I trust you at least know what you're talking about there?

I thought the commercial was kind of in your face and over the top, but people crying about it not being entirely in English are retarded.

I don't think it was in your face or over the top. I just think that most Americans are so obsessed with 'Murica", that they take offense to something like this, which in turn, makes it in your face and over the top.

Nah, only when you disagree!!!


It didnt bother me a whole lot. Thought the concept was brilliant, and that they just missed the boat just a bit on it.

The point was definitely forced and i'm sure that was their intention, but there's a ton of thavoices out there that drink coke and are butthurt now. I'm not sure it was a great commercial.

Nah, I am a pepsi guy. Occassionaly drink coke but usually pass if that is the only thing available. I imagine the bulk of the people who say they wont drink coke anymore becuase of this are just full of shit and/or didnt hardly drink it anyways.

You must have the Blue cash back card then...or a Costco or Hilton...notice all the "yearly fee" cards.

I want a link to the "95%" claim. I'm not doing your math for you.

Its the square root of go fuck yourself. You can also find it by adding up the number of don't give a fucks and subtracting from exaggeration then multiply by sarcasm.

My favorite was the people who called it the national anthem. Way to know your country.
