Sign O' The Times

Spotted this one during the games today:



I am apparently supposed to feel nostalgic for times that were so economically difficult that overworked mothers had to spend their nights doing extra work so that their sons could fit into an artificial consumerist youth culture that was created by the very product that this commercial is selling, a culture that worked so well that not only are you addicted and overstocking your fridge with Coca Cola, but you are in the present actually shilling for your mother's oppressors.

Coke took advantage of my poor mother's eager tendency to please and made her a raise a coke-grubbing ad whore; please buy coke.

(All of this typed while sipping on a can of Coke Zero Cherry, which is like, really, really good, even though I'm alone and we are not currently in an economic depression).
