Just curious to see how you feel. I keep seeing these commercials, and I find them kind of crass.

that "My Generation" ad is pretty cool though.

6. Yes and no. I'm glad they're pushing his agenda.
But it's a bit cheap that they stole the logo.

9. Well, the more health conscious
America becomes, soda co's will be outta biz soon! It's been documented how terribly bad they are for you, not just the sugar, it's the fizzy part that erodes much needed enzymes and a soda actually leaches any nutrition found in the bloodstream at the time, depleting the health of said individual.

12. I like 'em.
I think they are fun and that it is cute for them to play off of the fact that Obama's logo looks kind of like their logo (both their old and new ones) and that they have historically tried to appeal to the next generation.

Besides, it pisses off freepers, which makes it even more fun.
