You have to admit, the ad did what it's supposed to do - get a lot of post-ad attention.

No. Some Americans are mad that this country is being destroyed. Not by foreign speaking immigrants, which it's always had, but by mindless incivility and a lack of appreciating the American ideals of freedom and unity. You know " ONE NATION ... " ?

Hrmmm......

It's probably more about not what was said, but where it was said....

Seriously Niki....

I hate football. I worked the last two days. If I didn't work, I would have watched it with friends for the commercials, but meh......





Wondering why Football fans didn't approve of the commercial you're talking about is like going to the Grand Wizard of the KKK and asking why he doesn't like Die Hard 3, even though it's the best movie in the Neverending Series.....

6IX - 3 ? Hell, nothing comes CLOSE to the original Die Hard. Good grief.

"... but by mindless incivility and a lack of appreciating the American ideals of freedom and unity."

How does translating a song into different languages equate to mindless incivility and a lack of appreciating the American ideals of freedom and unity, I wonder? Surely adopting the country and expressing your appreciation of it in a different language is a tribute both to the country and to the person expressing it.

Now, if they were to sing the national anthem of their native country while in the US I would find it uncivil.

The 'mindless incivility' remark was directed towards EC. Had zero to do w/ translating the lyrics of a song.

I'd like to believe all who come here appreciate it. I have my doubts though.

It was a ad by a soda company, during a football game.

Sorry, but I kinda enjoyed it. Underdog kicked the stuffing out of the favorite, by 35 pts. Seattle won all 3 phases of the game, and left no doubt. Sure, it wasn't competitive, but props to the 'hawks.

Also Manning's derp face on that safety was just FANTASTIC. I think he actually went a little cross-eyed as it went by him.

It was pretty much all over from there.

"The 'mindless incivility' remark was directed towards EC."

So, do you have a problem about the 'mindless incivility' that was posted about the ad, in proportion to the number of uncivil posts?

This should be an easy question.
