  • Kraul, what have you done?!

    Quote from: Metro.co.uk
    Coca-Cola stopped a Facebook promotion after a horrified mum discovered the company had posted a hardcore porn reference on her 14-year-old daughter’s profile page.

    The promotion, for Dr Pepper drinks, which Coca-Cola owns, involved users signing up to have their profile pages hi-jacked with joke status up-dates.

    In all, around 160,000 people took part and received updates such as ‘Lost my special blankie. How will I go sleepies?’ and ‘What’s wrong with peeing in the shower?’.

    However, one mortified Mumsnet user, Mrs Rickman, discovered that her underage daughter’s status was changed with a reference to an explicit movie. It read: ‘I watched 2 girls one cup and felt hungry afterwards’.

    The angry mum wrote: ‘For anyone who doesn't know what this means, please stay ignorant, for those who do, you can imagine how I felt.

    ‘This was compounded later on when a quick search through [my daughter’s] internet history revealed she had tried to find out what it was for herself.’

    She added: ‘I am absolutely fizzing with rage and disgust, and want a full apology and explanation.’

    Coca-Cola apologised to Mrs Rickman, but even that back-fired. Its offer of a night in a hotel in London and theatre tickets for the West End was deemed as ‘offensive’ by Mrs Rickman because she lives in Glasgow.

    Coca-Cola claim that the status update was approved without knowing what it actually meant.

    Fizzing with rage indeed. Har-har.

    Must be the same guys in a new (old?) job that used to work for McDonald's a few years ago when they came up with this ad:



    With so much of our slang and pop culture references nowadays being tied directly into sex and really perverted stuff, it's become extremely dangerous for the over-the-hill and out of touch crowd to just be guessing at and using slang at random. :lol:

  • This is the thing it was probably some fresh out of college guy that wanted to strike a cord with the net crowd. Smart and dumb at the same time.
