A largely white owned company targeting minorities to get them addicted to their unhealthy product. Where have I seen this before?

Further proof that the right gets irrationally bent out of shape over the slightest deviation from their narrow, WASPy view of what America is.

Isn't it only right that lots of languages are used, as most Coke comes in to America from abroad and particularly via Mexico and South America.

Coke tastes good. Period. All of the other feelgood stuff is crap that has nothing to do with their product.

How is it "One world" if all were singing the US National anthem?

One nation maybe...but not one world.

There was nothing American about the video, and disgrace to one of the most famous American anthems.

This one is more realistic

It was far different than that iconic Coke commercial, "I'd like to teach the world to sing", in which people of many different races and ethnicities were presented- good song, nice cheery thought. In this commercial, it was clearly a far leftist view of America in which there are no white people.

This commerical is probably one (of the many) subtle propaganda pieces that we will see which will "persuade" the American public that legalization of illegal immigrants is simply "an American tradition"!

Some people are "outraged" at the stupidest things these days.

Apparently some need to get another hobby.

It was a commercial. One of many that I feel weren't super bowl caliber.
