shinychicken 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 For those of you who were upset, I highly encourage you to write coke and voice your displeasure over them choosing Frist to endorse their product. Plus, this will make for some funny replies...The Coca-Cola CompanyP.O. Box 1734Atlanta, GA 30301USA Link to post Share on other sites

BenSavage 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Frist looks fat, must be drinking too much Coke since he has been knocked out of a political career. He deserves what he got.What's funny is that he was one of the top potential Republican Presidential nominees a few years ago, the poker gods got mad at him I guess. Maybe there is justice in this world after all. Link to post Share on other sites
Coyote18 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am not a fan out what he did, but anyone who actually writes to Coke needs to find something better to do with their time. There are alot better ways to have your voice heard than complaining to a corporation's marketing staff. Link to post Share on other sites

mhoward29 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Link to the commercial? Also, I was playing poker and drinking and eating during the game so I only saw the big plays and missed most of the commercials. Is there a site anywhere that has the good SB commercials for this year that anyone knows about? Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Although I don't think anybody here likes Frist, I don't think they should wirte to Coke just because he was in a commerical. I don't like Derek Jeeter but I am not going to write to Gatorade because they put him in one of their commericals. Link to post Share on other sites

finztotheleft 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well, because I have nothing better to do with my time........This is my email to Coke:This is a complaint about one of the Coke Superbowl ads.The message of the ad is that even opposites can come together over the choice of Coke.I find it ironic that Coke chose as a spokesman a man who believes we should not have freedom of choice.Senator Frist introduced a bill,the UIGEA,which targets financial companies who transfer money to online gaming sites.As a responsible adult,I should be able to decide if I want to play poker.Bill Frist wants to choose what I can spend my own money on.This is a link for comments to them: coke superbowl commercial feedbackEveryone should at least zip off an email. Feel free to copy/paste mine. Admittedly, mine is not the most polished. Someone page HBlask to write something that sounds better. There is a 500 space limit on what you can write.

HangukMiguk 8 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm going to write one in the vein of finz, but actually state that I will boycott Coke products over the advertisement, even saying that I would sooner buy stagnant bottled pond water over Coke.I don't even drink water.

HangukMiguk 8 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was appalled to find that Coke has decided to be endorsed by a senator whose claim to fame was controlling what people can and cannot spend their money on, and became the nation's judge of morality. As such, until Bill Frist is no longer a spokesman for Coke, my choice will be to take my business to Pepsi, and in extreme cases, purchasing bottles of stagnant pond water in lieu of a more suitable alternative.

David_Nicoson 1 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Frist is worse than an anti-gambling advocate. He's on Harrah's payroll. He was pushed out (unrelated) ethics violations. Link to post Share on other sites
TwstdWrstr 10 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Frist is worse than an ant-gambling advocate. He's on Harrah's payroll.QFT! Last I checked to the tune of over $25,000. How ridiculous is that.High fructose corn syrup is doing far more damage to the average American's well-being than playing online poker ever will. Link to post Share on other sites
Jelly-Filled Ace 1 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm voicing my displeasure concerning your choice of using Senator Bill Frist in your Super Bowl ad.This Senator chose to cripple our freedom through a bill designed to cease monetary participation for online gaming/gambling.His bill, to us in opposition of, has violated our rights. Some 20 to 30 million of your potential customers fall under his suppression.Perhaps your political parody would have been better served had Newt Gingrich been used, applicably James Carville's Bizarro world.ship't Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You guys are forgetting about his sadistic treatment of animals. He might be hated in the community even more than he is in the poker world. 30,000 to 40,000 letters and e-mails being sent to Coke could actually spearhead something good. It doesn't take much time, so I'd hardly call it a waste of time. Imagine if they received a million letters and made a public apology. That would give the poker world some clout and possibly create news against the UIGEA. Sometimes solutions don't happen in conventional ways... Link to post Share on other sites

I'm saying that there are alot better ways to get your voice heard than going to Coca-Cola. I doubt that a million poker players have written their congressman about their feelings that online poker should be legal and regulated. I think that's worth more than complaining about a Super Bowl commercial.The point of the advertisement was to be funny about people who don't get along. There is no harm done in that.

If Coke offered you money to do a commercial and certain groups had a problem with you wouldnt you still do it?In no way am I a Frist fan, Im just saying this on the basic principality of it. I think you guys are takin this a little far. No offense, but it was just a coke commercial. Link to post Share on other sites
KONGOS 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I find it pretty ridiculous that a politician is in a Coke commercial...period.I Can't wait until the president of the United States is wearing suits with corporate logos and endorsements on the back. Anyone seen Idiocracy?Hi, I'm Secretary of State - brought to you by Carl's Junior - "Fuck off, I'm eating" Link to post Share on other sites
StrippersNBlow 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I was literally enraged when I saw that commercial at the party I was at. I was stone sober at the time, but couldn't help channeling Al Swearingen for a good 2-3 minutes, muttering cocksucker, and son of a bitch over and over. I was going to write Coke right then and there, but was convinced to settle down and watch the game. For those that say it's a waste of time, you're on a poker forum. Most would call that a waste of time. I don't consider voicing my opinion a waste. I don't expect the president of CocaCola to call me and beg me to please reconsider a switch to Pepsi. I do expect someone to read it, and the thousands of others that are sent. If you want to get degen about it I'll bet he doesn't have anything else to do with Coke advertising-wise again. Fuck Bill Frist and every politician like him. On a lighter note, I can wear my degenerate badge with pride. I was ribbed the rest of the night after the game because I was 10X more upset about a commercial than I was about dropping 4 bills on the Patriots. Please write a little something if you love poker. It may not do much, but it's guaranteed to do nothing if you don't. Link to post Share on other sites
