2009-02-24 Home Front: Culture Wars

By Debbie Schlussel

If you watched last night's Academy Awards show on ABC, you likely saw sponsor Coca-Cola's commercial patting itself on the back and you for drinking Coke, because the company takes some of its profits and gives college scholarships.

But you know what would have been a more truthful and less effective commercial? Coke telling Coke drinkers how some of those college scholarships go to illegal aliens who should be deported, not given a free ride to college by law-abiding Americans who support secure borders and didn't know their soft drink choice was funding the exact opposite.

#1 News like this makes me feel better and better about cutting out most soda from my life (nuthin' unless it has stevia or real sugar in it.)

#2 Don't drink the stuff. Never have.

I have noticed that fat people in the grocery store buy it by the case.

#3 I don't drink it. I know what goes into it. The base syrup is Sucrose Acetate Iso-Butyrate. The preservative is Phosphoric Acid.
