Coke Continues to Twist the Mind of Youth

Haven’t we all had enough of these stupid commercials that promise you the world if only you drink a Coke…as if that can full of sugarized crap has anything to do with your ability to achieve success on your own?

So here we have some crap about a “boy who didn’t know how to celebrate so he set off on a quest to find his own celebration.” Complete with joyous lyrics about freedom and fire, the boy flies, fights against robots and climbs mountains of celebrations. But it’s not until he takes a sip of Coke that he realizes the only place he needs to search for celebration is inside himself.

Gag! Please! Seriously? A kid needs to drink a a Coke to realize his potential? Seriously? What twisted sort of education is that for today’s youth? Oh wait, it’s the same thing every other marketer does. Buy our product and you will be magically transformed in the most supremely perfect person on the planet.
