Please tell me this is an isolated matter and we're only seeing stupid people's tweets and messages there.

Yeah... some people are fucked up.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - xparasite9 - 2014-02-04
I hereby invoke Poe's Law.
with a corollary that SRS and TumblrInAction have on occasions been caught making offensive posts themselves in order to fuel controversy for them to speak out against.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - Crowhogan33 - 2014-02-04
Yeah, saw this all over my twitter feed earlier, along with Coke trending... Then I saw everyone's tweets about the ad.

Stupid people tweet stupid pomegranate, who would have thought
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - MariettaRC - 2014-02-04
Definitely one of the grossest things I've seen within these past few days.
Sigh.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - ShinkuDragon - 2014-02-04

Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - ManxDrk - 2014-02-04
dam what are those people, neo-nazis?
"if its not english is not good"
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - xparasite9 - 2014-02-04
manufactured controversy
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - icephoenix21 - 2014-02-04
You ever think Coca Cola put out such an ad to make this controversy happen on purpose?
Publicity is good for them[as a company], yes.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - Gymleaders - 2014-02-04
I'm glad I don't associate with such ignorant people.
[MENTION=9704]icephoenix21[/MENTION]; idk, as a good person, if I was to make this, I'd think "Hey, let's make an awesome, love-filled commercial for people to enjoy. Something that really encompasses what America as a whole truly is." I'd expect a good response, maybe the obligatory racist person, but these kind of responses are just ignorant. I think it was expected, but not made out of that expectation.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - DustinxD - 2014-02-04
The stupidity, I swear..
It's also fun to note that a good chunk of them can't even write/speak English correctly themselves despite the "lack of English" in the commercial.
Sigh, some humans.

This is one way to bring out all those closeted racists.

I think some of my brain cells died reading those posts.
Coca-Cola Superbowl Ad - Jamesie - 2014-02-04
Makes me think of the Dove real beauty ads.

It's hard knowing motives for sure, but good person =/= business move...kinda like the recent issue with the anti-gay pasta company, thus resulting in other pasta companies showing their support for homosexuality.
"Good" intentions aside (and taking a neutral standpoint on the entire issue), I call it corporate greed using business tactics to get more sales.

I laugh whenever I come across someone saying Coca Cola butchered the "national anthem."

People on tumblr and twitter get buttfrustrated over anything.

So you're saying that if we don't want to end up like the native Americans, we need to resist immigrants more effectively than they did?
