Please tell me this is an isolated matter and we're only seeing stupid people's tweets and messages there.

[Niernen]

Yeah... some people are pineappleed up.

I hereby invoke Poe's Law.
with a corollary that SRS and TumblrInAction have on occasions been caught making offensive posts themselves in order to fuel controversy for them to speak out against.

[Crowhogan33]

Yeah, saw this all over my twitter feed earlier, along with Coke trending... Then I saw everyone's tweets about the ad.

[Malthe]

Stupid people tweet stupid pomegranate, who would have thought

[MariettaRC]

Definitely one of the grossest things I've seen within these past few days.

Sigh.

[ShinkuDragon]

now who was the one that said the ads sucked? because this is pure gold right here.

[ManxDrk]

dam what are those people, neo-nazis? "if its not english is not good"

[xparasite9]

manufactured controversy

[icephoenix21]

You ever think Coca Cola put out such an ad to make this controversy happen on purpose?

Publicity is good for them[as a company], yes.

[Gymleaders]

I'm glad I don't associate with such ignorant people.

@icephoenix21; idk, as a good person, if I was to make this, I'd think "Hey, let's make an awesome, love-filled commercial for people to enjoy. Something that really encompasses what America as a whole truly is." I'd expect a good response, maybe the obligatory racist person, but these kind of responses are just ignorant. I think it was expected, but not made out of that expectation.

[DustinxD]

The stupidity, I swear..

It's also fun to note that a good chunk of them can't even write/speak English correctly themselves despite the "lack of English" in the commercial.

Sigh, some humans.

[Moonlapse]

Why are you guys even reading these?

[PirateIzzy]

This is one way to bring out all those closeted racists.

[DustinxD]

Why are you guys even reading these?

Boredom seems to make us do things we probably shouldn't do.

I think some of my brain cells died reading those posts.

[Jamesie]

Makes me think of the Dove real beauty ads.

It's hard knowing motives for sure, but good person =/= business move...kinda like the recent issue with the anti-gay pasta company, thus resulting in other pasta companies showing their support for homosexuality.

"Good" intentions aside (and taking a neutral standpoint on the entire issue), I call it corporate greed using business tactics to get more sales.

I laugh whenever I come across someone saying Coca Cola butchered the "national anthem."

[Locked]

People on tumblr and twitter get buttfrustrated over anything.

[SaptaZapta]

So you're saying that if we don't want to end up like the native Americans, we need to resist immigrants more effectively than they did?
