Carville/Frist Coke Commercial...

[PCIntern]

Sickening...Whory...

you can see it on myspace.com under superbowl commercials...

I'm now a Pepsi man for life...

[ileus]

1. I thought it was pretty good.

[PCIntern]

7. Things are so bad for our democracy

that doing this ad violates my Eliot ness mantra...."No deals".

The ad ws them touring DC and being friends drinking their Cokes together after fighting on a TV program.

That must have been after Carville telegraphed that Kerry was going to protest the election...

[JackRiddler]

22. We're lucky Goebbels didn't have Coke's ad agency advising him...

Such whores!

Let me count the lies:

1. Carville and Frist matter; they are politicians, not actors.

2. They have real disagreements and belong to different parties.

3. It would require something remarkable to unite them.

4. Coke is that thing. (As a symbol of their commonalities as Americans.)

Of course, money and membership in the same corrupt class is that thing.

That being said: I'm a sap after all, because I enjoyed the other Coke commercial, with Thanksgiving parade floats of Stewie and Underdog coming loose of their moorings and chasing a giant Coke bottle through the Manhattan skies, only to finally lose it to Charlie Brown in the end. Such a happy ending - almost as good as the game!

2. sorry at work myspace blocked

explain please, this sounds interesting.

[merh]

3. I didn't think I could dislike and disrespect Carville more than I do

then I saw this commercial. :puke:

[Dawggie]

4. I got a laugh out of it.

[mdmc]

5. two parties

under corporation.$

[Hutzpa]

6. No more coke for me

:puke: :puke:

[SoCalDem]

8. Two old has-been hacks? Coke must be getting desperate.

Now if there was a cat in the background hissing at them, claws out, I'd laugh at it..

[AwareOne]

9. I almost threw up when I saw that

It's going to take a lot more than a fucking Coke and a smile to make a fascist like Frist see the light.

[PCIntern]

10. Fellow Iggles FAN!

Whiz?

[proud2BlibKansan]

11. Um, you're a dentist

Shouldn't you be setting a good example and not drinking any pop? :)

Have you heard of this program?

http://www.turtletrack.org/Issues01/Co04212001/CO_04212001_Pop.htm

Dental students come to our school and teach our kids to stop the pop.

[PCIntern]

12. You know what we call people who drink soda, and suck candies?

An annuity...

Seriesly (sic), soda's not the biggest problem in reasonalbe amounts. There's much worse in terms of insidious decay-causing etiology.

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. Damn I gave up soda pop years ago

I never did like it much anyway.

So what's worse?

Oh and please don't tell my kids. I was very strict about pop when they were growing up. I told them I couldn't afford the dental care they would need from drinking pop. :)

[whatchamacallit]

13. It didn't even make any sense

First the "commanding" puke (Frist) orders the confused pseudo-dem (Carville) to get him a Coke "Right now!" Then they go off on some kind of nebulous Washington road trip to nowhere. What a steaming turd!

[KoKo]

14. Check out James and Mary's "Whorehouse on Potomac" from Archetectural Digest...and you'll get

what they are about. They will "lie down with anyone" for a fee.

Check it out... VERY CAMPY...their WHORE HOUSE in RED!

17. Proof that the clueless can believe they are avatars of progress.

[AZBlue]

16. Oh pleeeeeease. There are real things to worry about in life.

And they don't include ads in the Super Bowl.

[PCIntern]

26. Please don't try to be the arbiter

of what's important and what isn't for me. If you don't want to read the thread, don't read it.

It was very telling that this guy, who pretended to be such a much, betrayed the Kerry campaign on Election Night.

LEssons were learned.

[AZBlue]

30. What's a much?

..."pretended to be such a much..."

What is a "much"?

[PCIntern]

34. "such a much..."

is an old expression used to request folks to not act so self-important and/or self-aggrandizing.

[mod mom]

18. I wish I could boycott, but I never drink the s#@!

[rhett o rick]

37. Same for me. I don't drink pop, I limit myself to beer. And not no stupid lite beer. How embarrassin

lite beer.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

19. That was a funny commercial.

I don't understand why it's such a big deal. I like it that those pundits can make fun of themselves!
I think you guys are taking this shit waaaayy too seriously.

[Feron]

20. Funny I thought it would be the Will Ferrell

Coke commercial that would get the most complaints.

Personally I thought the commerical could have been improved by Frist diagnosing Carville via a TV, but otherwise it was not too bad. It was your standard corny ad and nothing more.

Boycotting Coke over that ad is an extreme overreaction.

[JackRiddler]

23. Boycott Coke?! Who cares? The point is to RUN CARVILLE OUT OF TOWN!

This whore gets to portray a Democrat and a "liberal" on television. That's just wrong.

[fortyfeetunder]

21. I don't drink Coke, zero impact. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

24. So ET and the cat killer are pushing high fructose corn syrup now?

BTW funniest superbowl ads in years....

[rhett o rick]

25. It insults me to have Carville picked as an example of a Democrat. He is a corporatist sell out. nm

[JackRiddler]

27. You don't get to choose.

Tough.

For that matter, did you get to choose Obama and Clinton presented to you as the only alternatives by the money and the corporate media, more than a year before a vote was cast?

[rhett o rick]

31. Is that a trick question? nm

[JackRiddler]

35. Sort of, I guess.

No, we didn't get to choose that Carville is called a liberal Democrat and that Clinton and Obama were preordained with a no-bruises agenda for the corporations, but we can still fight it in whatever way we can.

[rhett o rick]

36. yes sir. I hit a very low spot in 2004. But I survived to fight another day. But we need an

organization. We need to develop a communication network that can survive an internet blackout. We need to use the power of the purse to hurt the fascist corps. We need our own tv network. oops got carried away.

[librechik]

28. frist makes me want to tear out my eyes and throw them at the TV

same with Carville.

[otohara]

29. What Demo Were They Going After

middle aged political junkie coke drinkers?

People under 40 were probably wondering who the "fuck are these two guys"?

[ProgressiveFool]

32. Wow, if Cat-Killer Frist and Old Serpent-head can be friends, there's hope for us all /nt

[mod mom]

33. Money rules all with that crowd (they were paid) Carville in Bolivia:

Globalism extends to the American way of campaigning, it seems, and the hubris of the gringo strategists — earnest ex-Clintonistas employed by James Carville’s Greenberg Carville Shrum group — would be hilarious if human lives and a country’s political will weren’t at stake.

It’s a galling and provocative experience to viewers of any political persuasion, and a reminder to the left of how easily idealism can run amok.

The Carville boys were hired by Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada, a.k.a. ‘‘Goni,’’ a patrician Bolivian businessman who served a rough term as Bolivia’s president in the mid-’90s. Goni’s legacy was an unsuccessful program of ‘‘capitalization’’ (i.e., he welcomed foreign investment and watched foreigners get all the jobs).

By 2002, the time of filming, unemployment is through the roof and rural campesinos are agitating for political representation. Goni is old news and his poll numbers are dismal. Enter Jeremy Rosner, Greenberg Carville Shrum’s point man in Bolivia, an articulate manipulator of mass moods (and a fellow who bears an uncanny resemblance to Seth Meyers of ‘‘Saturday Night Live’’ — reality parodies itself here better than any comic could).
