Yeah, now. Stop the fucking off topic.

I would be horribly offended if I saw a tea advert with people singing in English, Scots, Ullans, Gaeilge, Cymraeg, Gàidhlig, Kernewek and Gaelg.

It's an advertisement, yea America is diverse, does that mean since I don't see or hear any of the said diversity in the video in my own life that I should feel offended? No, hell for example The town next to mine is full of Amish who speak Pennsylvanian Dutch, but when they try to sell their crops and whatnot they speak English, yet their English is very very different (phrases/accents/grammar) then ours but we still understand each other perfectly and learn to adapt to their speech.  Unfortunately, their is still and will for a very long time still be an anti-Muslim resentment all over America (for obvious reasons), yet I'm sure we have plenty of them that are hard working people in our country, so yea they are rightfully apart of the ad.  Final Note: Coca cola is a pretty shady company in the background (did my own research on them in high school) so not supporting that they have the sense or right to make an ad of that as it'd be contradicting themselves.

I'm personally fine with patriotism, however this ad annoys me because Coca Cola is exploiting it for their own commercial gains. Pretty much any advertisement that uses pathos to promote a product is kind of shitty in my book. Exploiting people's emotions for something like that is... immoral, I'd say.

Belive it or not, it's one of the most common parts of advertisement. To awake emotions, since it creates an emotional attachment with the product or something positive we associate it with.

I like it, coca cola is sold in almost all countries of the world...

All cultures, all colors and all sexualities have something in common, why not?

I know that. My point was that it's immoral to do so.
