I personally can't wait to get my first sip of Dr. Pepper - Diet Freud.

Taking things seriously somehow makes everything funnier, for me at least.

Well, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't think all pictures of guns and explosions in every context was phallic imagery. But I think we have lingered enough on this now.

Nestlé started doing the same thing ten years ago with the Yorkie bar:
That's very clearly not meant to be taken seriously though.

And in fact watching the advert for Dr Pepper 10, that's also clearly a joke).  I'd regard it perhaps as a parody of the Pepsi Max adverts as well as kindof breaking the fourth wall of advertising.

Yes, exactly, they're making fun of male perceptions, not women. And hoping to generate internet and media chatter. But we're too smart to fall for that one. Oh yes.

Meh, It's real simple:

"Diet" soda is for women.... "..."

Therefore, a lot of guys with problems in their heads about this idea won't drink it.

The result is a cardiologist with a yacht and this ad....

If I were making the ad, I'd just make a g-rated version of Powerthirst.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

If I were making an ad, the tagline would be "Buy it or else.", no matter what the product is. It is probably a good thing that I am not an ad maker.

Yeah, that is true. Coke Zero was basically a slightly more subtle version of this, including the advertising which I remember being much like how the adverts for this are described.

Pepsi Max - advertized in the UK by less than subtle messages about how cool guys you want to be like drink it.

Though, since the purpose (at least for MAX and Zero) is to market "diet" drinks to guys without it being "diet"/"womanly", the cardiologist won't get rich out of this one. More like the cancerologist, as I believe these non-sugar sugar-drinks are prime examples of sucralose-heavy products. But I'm basing that on my ass.

Strangely the en in my family all drink diet coke instead of Zero.

But then again they are both fatasses who have been doing so for years before Zero existed and simply kept the habit (also being somehow related to me makes them manly enough as is).

I'm not even gonna go into the "the non diet pop would make you fat which would strain your heart," basis for the cardiologist's yacht joke. O, it's there, but meh. Its purpose was less to be factual and more for giggles, though there was some fact thrown in too. At least in theory it was, otherwise why bother with "diet" pop at all?

Really? This is news? Christians, your version of god does not have to be in every damn thing. He also left out Zeus and Thor and Allah, too! Somehow this is news!

The major problem I have with Christianity is the 1st commandment and the things that sprung from it. It is OK not to worship, or to worship another version of god/religion. Not thinking this is where all the "pushing stuff on other people" comes from. Don't convert people, don't push inclusion of your beliefs, just chill a bit.

This is really why the religious right's argument against same sex marriage falls apart in flames. Let's even assume marriage is "sacred," why does your religion get to determine what that means? There are tons of religions who have no problem with it and could care less. Buddhists, which given the massive populations of China, India and other southeast Asian countries outnumber most other belief systems, could care less about same sex marriage. Human beings have been getting married long before Christianity ever hit the scene in all the various corners of the world. It's primarily the three Abrahamic Religions (Jews, Christians, and Muslims) who have a problem with it. Who cares?

There is no proven link between edulcorants and any sort of cancer, as far as I know.
