It’s to your credit if you don’t get this one

Posted on September 24th, 2013

This is simultaneously the most offensive thing I've ever written and our least offensive option for subject matter this week. Given the choice between Chiquita Banana's refusal to compensate death squad victims and the dating ad that featured a gangraped child who was bullied to death, Vitaminwater's accidental hate crime just seemed the least likely to make me cry.

Still... not cool, Coke. And I hardly think the person who approved this is in a position to mock anyone's intelligence.
