I saw this commercial a few weeks ago and you end up watching it over and over. It is Amazing.

Link: youtube.com/watch?v=yRqUTA6AegA

If you can’t link directly, go to you tube and search for Coca_Cola pro-life commercial. It’s a must see!

Coca-Cola Argentina produced it for a product called Coke Life. I haven’t seen it in America. I’m not trying to promote Coke, You just haven’t ever seen anything like this 60 second commercial. You’ll watch it several times.

Best, Patrick:thumbsup:

I’ve recently heard people calling it an alternative lifestyle.😦

Coca Cola is anti-health and anti-life. Their product is life draining, diabetes creating, exploitative junk. They are most likely appealing to the Christian Right as their sugar addicted, ignorant customers.

Sorry to be a downer, but we’re talking about corporate America here. They have experts advising them on how to best promote their products.

I understand completely. I was in business for a long time. However, a broken clock is right twice a day. That doesn’t take away from a corporate pro-life commercial.

Can they be pro-choice in America and pro-life in Argentina? Sure! But, I have never seen a more beautiful pro=life commercial regardless of the product. The product is incidental.

If you could get by the Coke bottle and just find hope in the message. Look for the good.

Best to you and yours, Patrick

Give me a break! Yes, true, but millions upon millions of people who use this product, and others, too, in the way they are intended to be used suffer no ill effects.

Sure, it’s a ploy to sell product. But that is business. No one is holding a gun to anyone’s head and forcing them to buy the product. Everything that man makes can have a detrimental effect if used improperly. Does that mean that a corporation should not use a legal, legitimate way to sell its product?

Yes, in Truth of Fact. They’re trying to sell both sides a product that is ~infamous~ for destroying lives, by promoting a product as if it were for the greater good.

It’s the cold or hot thing in Revelations.

Don’t you people read?

Maybe if it was save the animal life…
 
Oh, my. While I love the premise, no one could call that a pro life commercial. No one had a second thought, it looked like the couple was happy. Out was a stages of life commercial, no “choice” involved.
 
I do not see that commercial as pro-life. Pro-family, yes, but the commercial takes no position on contraception or abortion. All we know is that the couple had one baby and has another on the way.

You see what you want to see. They obviously weren’t using contraception… And, his initial reaction seemed to be terror, then happiness. It becomes apparent they aren’t choosing abortion.

I guess we can see into peoples hearts if we choose to look. We’re asked to see people through God’s eyes.

As iron sharpens iron, have a heart check-up. 🙂

Wow, people need a heart check up!🙂
  1. 4 to 5 times they show the woman’s wedding ring finger. She has a wedding ring on it.
    Traditional marriage messaging!
  2. She became pregnant again! Obvious, lack of contraception and open to procreation messaging! Could she have used contraception? Sure! But, that’s not the message!
  3. He panicked at first, then joy. Pro- life messaging! It was definitely not pro-abortion.
  4. Pro-family, yes!
Argentina- loads of Catholics-yes.

Why all the negativity people?

Peace, Patrick See the good, …hope!

👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing … I enjoyed the commercial. Ironically I never liked Coke (I was a Pepsi gal when I drank pop) … but I really did like the message.
 
It must be the pregnancy hormones, but anyone else think the kid is a brat? Destroying things is not a joy. For me, it would be a one way ticket to severe punishment. I found nothing happy about kid destroying records (as a music fan, I shrieked), knocking table cloth over, or interrupting parents when they want to be alone. I think I’ll be one of those parents who hates baby and toddler hood.

Can I give birth to a six year old? Please?

This ad is definitely nightmare fuel.

Back in the eighties, I sarcastically argued in a critical thinking class to extend the 20 week (or what ever it was at the time) threshold for abortions to 36 months after birth. :rolleyes:

They didn’t get it! Well, maybe some did.

The liberal prof still gave me an A. I must have been persuasive, and I smiled a lot.

Best to you and yours, Patrick

Yeah, sorry about that. I am the sort of guy who would look at a zebra and say “It has stripes on this side, but we can’t be sure about the other side.” I think God instilled in me this frame of mind for a purpose (1 Corinthians 12). It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

When my kids have done such things, I used to ask “Why?”

Now I understand children better, and the question is more correctly posed as “Why ask why?”
