@engineer,

When i was a kid, we used to go to this roller rink where they served DP, and promoted it, too--posters and signs everywhere. I decided i'd become a DP drinker, both because i didn't know anyone else who drank it, and to be different, which has a certain cachet for kids.

Soon, i began to doubt religion, and i soon abandonded Jesus. I began to despise my English teacher, and to scorn my French teacher. I lost interest in basketball, and started hanging out on the corner by the gas station late at night. My life quickly went to hell.

When I was a boy, I drank Doc Pepper every day
Now that I'm old and grey,
I drink Doc Pepper TWICE A DAY.

From the story linked by engineer, this was one of the comments left on Dr. Pepper's Facebook page. What kind of colleges would stop selling Dr. Pepper because of that ad?

To many, Coca Cola is the dominant religion, but Pepsi and DP make a strong showing.

Chick fil a could remove it from their on-campus operations. Heaven forbid their chicken dollars go to supporting a company that doesn't toe the creationist party line.

@engineer,

Obviously, they should have depicted the soda on a tree, with Eve offering one to Adam....

In fact, if I were in charge of DP's advertising, that's exactly what I'd do now.

@engineer,

The Muslim world is rioting because some idiot produced an insulting film, and the Christian Creationists are whining because they don't like evolution.

As John McEnroe would say, "you can't be serious!".

When are the religious people of a more realistic persuasion going to start standing up to the fanatics who are giving their religions a bad name.

@engineer,

If it needs proving again, this proves that is one really wants to be offended, one will find something that offends.
