DieHardBrownsFan Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Coca-Cola’s ‘Multi-cultural’ Super Bowl Ad Upsets Many Americans (Video) by Top Right News on February 3, 2014 in Politics, Sports Coca Cola’s Super Bowl ad created a nationwide discussion Sunday night on social media. Facebook and Twitter blew up with both sides of the fence voicing their opinions. Was it right for Coca Cola to portray the message that America is all about different nationalities singing “America, the Beautiful”? Are ads like this a departure from America’s past tradition of assimilation, uniting with one language and the ‘melting pot’ — and towards division and Balkanisation? It wasn’t the nationalities that outraged many, but rather the different languages it was spoken in. One of the top comments on the video was, “This is awesome! This is what essentially America is about.. a whole bunch of immigrants coming to this country. Even that’s how it started.. a whole bunch of Europeans immigrants coming here to make what is now America.” However, the overall mood of the comments portrayed many angry Americans who believe to come to this country you should learn the language of the land. One person’s comment got a lot of attention saying, “What USED to make America great was that the immigrants who came here from other countries learned our language and their cultures blended into ours. America the Beautiful should be sung in one language, and one language only, English.” Still other comments were offended by the Muslim woman in a hijab, and many were offended at the obvious same-sex couple portrayed.

calfoxwc Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Coke's "we are the world in sales" commercial sucked. Worst of the night - that's bad because most of them were bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Didn't bother me at all. I didn't think it was a great commercial but what the hell. All these folks are correct, America is beautiful and it's someplace you would want to be. And I'd rather they were singing that and drinking a bottle of Pop than a lot of other stuff. America: we are currently accepting applications. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lol , seriously? There are people out there that were offended by this commercial? Jesus Christ. There are "news sources" like Top Right "reporting" on this "controversy"? Wow... This is the state of our country? There are people this far gone?

Legacy Fan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I could see maybe getting upset over the "Star Spangled Banner" being sung in anything but English, but even then - not really. But "America, the Beautiful?" Nope. Sorry, Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 How did I change my views? And yes, it is. Which is why a lot of my views on socially policies don't line up as conservative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosar_For_President Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's how dumb and materialistic Americans are they identify a product with nationality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 That's pretty sad. Doubly so because we know Americans like these people equate Arabic with "terrorists language" yet Arabic was not one of the languages used in the commercial. So apparently any non-English language is "terorrist language." Xenophobic much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
