Coke Nazi Advert Challenge

The Coke Nazi Advert Challenge is interesting. Hit "refresh" a few times to see more examples.

Probably the most interesting thing for me is what the hell people expect the Pokey Pola company to do about it. They're certainly not alone in terms of companies which were active in Germany in the 30s and 40s, and I'm sure nobody is seriously suggesting that, somehow, everyone who works for Pokey Pola now is responsible for Nazi atrocities.

There used to be someone who worked in my office who was "anti-" certain companies. You know, a Nestle-hater, an Esso-hater, an HP-hater. But I always wondered why people pick on those companies in particular, when all multi-national companies tend to engage in similar sorts of activities. Short of giving up consumption entirely and going to live in a cave, we're all culpable, all the time. She was a smoker, for example, and if any market sector can be classed as evil, with their targeting of children and the poor in countries where there are fewer controls, then it's Big Tobacco. And just because they're roll-ups, dear, doesn't mean they don't come from the same factory.
