    Someone needs to send this to that guy in the Comic Strips community who keeps cropping out artists’ signatures because he thinks they’re “ads”.

    He hates ads so much.

        In some cases he has used AI to remove watermarks. It changed other details of the comic. Pretty gross.

    Send it to the admin(s) of the instance. I’m sure they don’t want to host that bullshit.

      You know what they say, nothing beats thirst like a cop beats black people like a crisp cold coca cola. The cops beating up innocent people of beverages.

      Yes indeed coca cola loves to assault your thirst. The way cops assault their wives.

      Coca cola and cops, two peas one pod. Like two girls one cup. Except instead of two girls eating shit it’s coca cola.

      Mmm. Coke.

    Given the date, I doubt this has anything to do with the company. Probably just a joke/troll with poor taste.

    Apr 1st would be a really dumb day to start a new ad campaign on a platform explicitly created to escape corporate greed. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot…

        Yeah, but Coca Cola is the best taste. Doesn’t need to be taken with a grain of salt—even today. There’s nothing quite like the crisp, invigorating taste of an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Each sip delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and sparkle, dancing across your taste buds with a refreshing burst that instantly lifts your mood. Whether you’re sharing moments with friends or taking a well-deserved break, Coca-Cola brings a timeless sense of joy and satisfaction. It’s more than just a drink-it’s a classic experience, chilled to perfection and made to be enjoyed anytime.

          The joke I’m pretty sure was “Wouldn’t it be weird if we had ads here”, it’s cool man, no one got hurt, it was a joke. If it happens tomorrow I’ll be upset.

              Christ, you’re offended by me saying it was a joke that no one got hurt by? The most you were inconvenienced was hitting delete, and that offended you? That’s your bar for offense there. One joke ad hitting your inbox one time offended you. This is why we’re made fun of, this right here, why people say we can’t joke anymore and this gives them credibility in that statement. There will always be someone who cannot simply move on. It always has to be a big thing that personally offended you. It’s MildlyInfuriating, not I’m offended by a soda can.

                idk about you, but every time i have an ad shoved in my face i’m reminded that i am not human, but just another source of extracting money to feed to billlionaires. it is soul crushing, god forbid i react to it…

                oh and i meant the ads are offensive, not your comment. sorry i worded it badly

    Holy shit, I was just wondering how to vent about this shit. I vow that I will NEVER drink that dumbass drink ever again. This type of advertising gives me a personal grudge that, god forbid I ever have children, I will pass down through my fucking bloodline.

      I mean, I don’t actually want to talk you out of your vow there, but I’m fairly confident this was from a random troll with no affiliation to the actual company. Now I don’t doubt they’d do it if they thought it would be profitable, but even if they did foolishly think this would work, I’d be shocked if we’re even on their radar.

    Even as a joke, sending a real advertisement to people is completely unacceptable and deserves an immediate permanent ban. If they had created an ad for something fictional I’d be a little less annoyed about it but it still seems like a bad idea.

    I doubt that is a legitimate ad by the brand but rather some rando’s idea of a joke/troll and they’re gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company

      Anyone who thinks the people at Coke’s marketing department even know vaguely what the fediverse is are delusional.
