Many folks were all butt-hurt over it.

'Butt-hurt'?? Why? Anyway presumably there will now be a prize-winning quiz to see who can list the languages in the order in which they appear.

Is the first of the montage Wyoming?

Trivial I know, but certainly before the 1993 Peace Treaty between Israel and Jordan you could buy a Coca Cola in Israel but not a Pepsi; and you could buy a Pepsi-Cola in Jordan, but not a Coca-Cola. It may have changed since then.

I really think this should be our National Anthem. Oh wait...it is!!

What an outrage they didn't sing in any real American language. Maybe a bit of Iroquoian or Sioux? Nothin but illegal immigrant languages. :dancing:

Hmm.

This at a time when there is plenty of evidence that people representing Coca Cola are actively working with the authorities in Russia to prevent people from protesting against the government's violently hostile anti-gay stance in the run-up to the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Double standards? Nope, it just comes down to money and protecting your market country by country. Same old shit.

Don't be fooled.

This right here.

[Ben in LA]

This right here as well.

These idiots are going to boycott Coca Cola and go to Dr. Pepper. Coke OWNS some of Dr. Pepper! I guess Shasta's sales will be going up then...

Lastly, "America The Beautiful" isn't the national anthem. Derp.
