Talking and understanding is overrated, as we have daily proof.
Problem is, we're literate in several different languages, and not one.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Dr. Pepper is also owned by the Coca Cola company, if you want to show your support but require a different flavour.
And if you like drinking the tears of benevolent gods, Dr. Pepper has that going for it too.

BTW, for all those who are outraged by Coke's ad and vowing to switch to Pepsi (several tweets referenced such promises), you should know that Pepsi's CEO is Indian, and their president is a Muslim. I know this might be a problem for you, so you should probably just give up sodas altogether.

I believe I just deftly proved it doesn't matter if we even understand each other in ONE language. As such, not actually a problem.
Besides, most Indo-european languages have so many freakin' cognate words in them that they might as well be speaking English.
Etymology for the win yo.

Teabaggers are mad because the commercial used several different languages, and they can't even effectively use one.

Yeah, I love the illiteracy...and the ignorance about it being our "national anthem". Pretty much says it all.

By the way, the song was written by a lesbian in a long-term committed relationship, who left the Republican party in 1924 over fears of their growing homophobia and xenophobia.
It's amazing how much they haven't changed in just 90 short years!

Coke has a long history of promoting multi-culturalism in their advertising so I was not surprised at this one. I just found it stupid and obnoxious, something more suited for the 1970's. The majority of the Superbowl ads were equally stupid and obnoxious, and the half-time show was a circus freak show. And the game sucked too. But the beer was cold and the food was great, so all in all, a great night!
