Taste infringement

[Ampoliros]

OK, tell me something lawyers. Do I have a case against coke for annoying the ever-loving **** out of me with 2 of these goddamned commercials every 5 minutes? I thought the first one of these I ever saw was pretty retarded. 300 of them later, my opinion hasn't really improved. How can they think this is clever enough for an entire ad campaign?

I want to brain the ad wizard who developed this one. I tried Coke Zero once and thought it tasted like super flat Diet Coke but I didn't care enough to bother. Now, I'm going to tell anyone who cares to listen that it tastes like ***. Suck it, Coke.

Those ads could really use a fat football player jumping off of some goalposts into the turf and then doing a dance. 800 times.

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!

I sent Coke an e-mail saying I'd buy a Pepsi next time I wanted a Coke, solely because of the company inflicting that campaign on us.

I'm getting tired of the UPS and Subway commercials too. At least State Farm has several different ones and doesn't show the same damn ad over and over again.

I was able to dial up Texas as national champ on the bracket-o-matic, first time...

That's where GEICO has everyone hands down.

Three totally different themes:

the Geico Gekko,
the "so easy a caveman can do it", and the "celebrity" (e.g., Peter Frampton, and "Take a train to Happy Town,.... Woo!Woo!!......Woo!Woo!!") speaks in place of Ordinary Man.

So you don't tire of their pitch.

I thought the Taste Infringement commercials were clever. They are totally wrong, because Coke Zero does not taste like Coke, but the commercials are clever.

Geiko had a 4th theme too, the ones were something bad is happening and then somebody chips in with "But I have some good news too"
