When I see a Coke or Pepsi commercial during the Superbowl, I can't help but think of this Onion article...

Then we have to factor in how much the DNC is paying the NFL and these companies to produce commercials pushing their agenda.

Not surprised. When I saw it, I was like "Oh boy, the cons are going to lose their sh!t with this one!."

Nice.

It's Pepsi, a global brand. I imagine it's pretty hard to boost anything significantly. I mean Pepsi and Coke fight over miniscule market share on a daily basis.

The Radio Shack add boosted the company's stock price. But then again, it's still just Radio Shack.

Nice try. Lots of French speaking folk are in New Orleans.

The publicity in this case alone will likely be enough to at least make the commercial net positive in terms of value for them.

They lost $2.15 this morning when I skipped out on my Diet Coke.

Were you buying directly from coke? If not, then coke has already received revenue from the sale to the shop/kiosk/etc.

The store got it for a discounted price, but I don't care either way.

Thinking more along the lines of this.....

Disrespectful on many levels, first to US Citizens and to citizens of the countries represented in the commercial. It's the UGLY American thing, everyone must want to live in American cause it's beautiful.

So I guess y'all are drinking Pepsi now.

If you're looking to be offended, you're going to be offended. Oklalittledixie is more sensitive than a sorority girl on her period.

If it had been the national anthem?...then I'd be pissed.

On that note....I am damn glad to see someone not butcher it at the Superbowl. Very stirring rendition IMO. I was at a SB party where there were at least 30 people applauded her.

Oh my gosh, some of you people are so closed-minded it's pathetic.

Wow, our nation is made up of people from lots of backgrounds and is a nation of immigrants. There are so many thousands of languages spoken here that represent America and Americans, this is a selection of those from people who are American citizens and who love this country. The last time I checked you don't have to speak a majority language to be patriotic in this country.

The anthem is in English, but songs like this have liberty for all and translation. The song's words and meaning are not lost in a different language, though I find they are lost on some of you posting here.
