White Advertising

Okay this time of year we all have our senses assaulted by the endless stream of Holiday advertising. You know sentimental Xmas jewelry spots, little elves hard at work in Santa's shop making Motorola's newest cell phone, and wives giving their husbands that new Lexus adorned with giant bows. (who in the hell gets a freakin' Lexus for Christmas really?) Yes all these spots are annoying but there is one in particular that really grinds my gears! That's right, those damn Coca-Cola Polar Bears! We've all seem these white beasts, with their scarves and sleds, smiling at the camera while sipping an icy Coke. What is the point here? Is this supposed to make me want a Coke? Polar bears don't drink soda, that's just plain stupid! And now this year they've got these Bears going down and sharing their cola with a group of little penguins. WTF!? Wouldn't it be such a better commercial if the polar bears trotted down there, swiped up a tasty penguin popped him in his jaws, and then proceeded to wash him down with the Coke. I mean that's alot funnier, more truthful, and it would make me think "Hmm, I wonder if Coca-Cola would be good with my meals?" And I'ld probably pick up a 12 pack too. Alright I'm done bitching about this for now but I gotta say this to all you Polar Bears up there in the North Pole, "I know you guys have endless amounts of white powder but come on, try to lay off the coke."
