First they came for the alma mater, then our trays, and now they've come for our soft drinks!
Pomona College is having a "discussion" (read: a thought reform session) about whether or not it should write letters to Coca-Cola telling them to change their behavior. Generally, these types of letter writing campaigns become Trojan horses to ban the product outright.
They've held that discussion at the oh-so-convenient time of 12:15 - 12:45 PM on a Monday when most of us have class. It'll be in Frary's "private room." But, I, nevertheless, plan to be there defending Coca-Cola and liberty. The crux of my argument is that Coca-Cola ends up creating meaningful employment opportunities wherever they go. Not, you know, entirely different from this situation. Just think of all the people they are employing! I sure hope they are paying all of them a living wage!
There's even some evidence that Coca-Cola can appeal to the better angels of our nature.
They are also pro-ginger and so they have my identity-based vote.
Given that I'm pro-liberty, I'm generally pro-Coca-Cola, but you'll have to come if you want to hear all the arguments. (Okay, I lied, I'll be linking up my whole speech and those arguments tomorrow after the "discussion".)
I sure hope it doesn't get this ugly. I don't speak Chinese or play War Craft.
In any event, I'll be sure to practice my Spanish so that I can recite this advertisement fully.

uh, both videos are in chinese so try to fix it. this entry makes me want to go get a damn coke. i'm just so thirsty in this heat. i like you guys.
Question, which job is more superfluous:
the little furry things in the first commercial?
or those created by laws preventing people from pumping their own gas in Oregon?
Personally, I'd rather keep the former around.
Do you guys really have classes from 12:15-12:45? There are no Pomona classes during that time (and I've seen very few others as I've looked through the course catalog in past week), so I can only assume it actually seemed like a quite convenient time to the organizers.
Afraid so.
I have had classes from noon to 1 PM last semester.
