Evolutionary Dr Pepper ad spurs religious kerfuffle

[Francis]

OK we shall start this in News because it's where it is today.

Does anyone who believes in religion or not really get that offended by this add.

Personally I find it humorous. Have we really lost our sense of humor ?

Sorry Typo.. Now corrected.. Humor.. :24: Not that you have never made a mistake right Dana..

I don't think as such religion would but people who believe in religious might not take it as attack as such..

I mean we just criticized others for a movie and past cartoons.. And now we do the same for a commercial..

Seems hypocritical no ?

They're not singling out one religion, various religions of European origin have the same foundation.

I realize that as the root base of most religions are based in Europe. The Pope at the Vatican, the Queen in England being the main Christian two.. The point is, are religious leaders going to far from what their followers would tend to believe bar the really fundamentalists..

I would be interested to know what the basis for offense would be? It is an ad, similar to the caveman ads by Geico..was there a religious uproar about them?

I'm just saying that comparing it to the sect of radical Muslim religious followers doesn't really make it in poor taste or whatever you said. I see you edited your original post. With that said I find that religion is singling out the silliest things to whine about.

First I edit the word Homor to Humor as per your correcting me and my mistake as per my comment and that was it.. Nothing else was edited..

But I am not just doing a reference to one religion.. The reference to cartoons was only to point to extremism at its best.

You may or may not recall the uprising from the following criticism of the following Movies but I do.

The Passion of the Christ - Catholic and Jewish

The Da Vinci Code - Catholic and Christians

Jesus Christ Superstar - Jewish, Catholics and Protestants

That was not abuse, that was exploitation, and his parents assisted.. :24:
