This is nothing, in Australia Coke's slogan is "Drink Coke, if you don't you can eat shit & die f***face"

If I found this under a bottle cap, It would be placed prominently in my home. I think it would be a lot more offensive if this was printed under Snapple's real facts, or somehow shoehorned into those facts about the Island of Nantucket that are on the bottlecaps of Nantucket Nectors.

I just wonder what the level of outrage would be if the cap said You <racist slur> or You <homophobic slur> instead. Actually, no I don't, I already know the answer to that. Uh... that wouldn't happen because as stated by the company this was an error based on them choosing a random French word that is spelled the same way as an English slur, and not them slipping in the slur to be insulting correct? Granted they should have had some kind of filter to remove it in case it was caught by the random number generator especially since it was combined with the English word of You...

First, we're all of a sudden taking corporations at their word? Second, if there was another slur, the company's excuse wouldn't mean shit. Their buildings would be swarmed with protestors.

In this case, their explanation makes more sense than alternatives.

I was just thinking the other day when I opened up my fortune cookie that I would personally laugh my ass off if I got a fortune saying "f*** you". I'd have the same reaction if I got this bottle cap. My dad opened one up the other night and his fortune was just a blank strip of paper. So we're pretty much just waiting for the other shoe to drop and for him to die in his sleep at this point.

I don't see all the hubbub...my food products call me names all the time. Once I inadvertantly let tuna casserole leftovers sit in the back of the fridge for a while. When I finally took the time to notice it, not only had it formed its own society and totalitarian government, but it also started calling me a decadent capitalist pig.

Am I the only one who thinks the company line about a contest sounds like a complete ass pull?
Yeah...you see this was...a contest we was running. Yeah we chose an English word at random, and a...French word at random...and the French word we happened to choose...was "late" which coincidentally happened to be spelled..."retard." Yeah, that's the ticket...totally random you see.

This sort of reminds me of when me and the rest of the guys in our 3rd form french class learned the French meaning of retard and tried to use it as a excuse for calling other people at school it.

How soft do you have to be to not get a quiet chuckle out of such a thing?
Who listens to Vitamin Water? Retards.

They kinda made it about themselves. They weren't the only ones on earth that were upset by it, yet they acted like they were the ones that suffered most or would have if the person in question actually saw it, which they didn't.

Ah, the old "pretend to be as offended as those that might actually be offended by such a thing so as to exploit society financially" play? That's original.
