I spotted a billboard for the new Coke C2 yesterday that said ‘1/2 the politics and all of the party,’ and I was baffled. Does it have something to do with the fact that we’re in an election year? I’m just stupid, aren’t I? Yes, that’s it. What pisses me off even more, is that Splenda (which everyone and their mother is using to reduce carbs) is being hyped as the best artificial sweetner. I got news for ya, just because it’s derived from sugar doesn’t mean it is sugar. Far from it, actually. I think Lance at glassdog said it best:
People, it’s very simple: Everything in moderation. Want a donut? Eat a fucking donut. Don’t eat six fucking donuts! Fuck!
i have *such* a problem with their marketing too. it totally confounds me. there’s a t.v. commercial where it starts off with “you can’t choose your parents, you can’t stay angry, you can’t cut in line” the last one is something like “you can’t have your cake and eat it too” and the pitch line it “now you can!” what, what do you mean? you mean you can choose your parents and stay angry? i know they mean you can have your cake and eat it too.. but come on guys.. it just makes no damn sense. ok.. enough ranting. you’ll probably never see this anyway since it’s such an old post. 😉
I see all 🙂
freakin’ scary, man.
