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....
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.
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?
http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/obama-leaves-god-out-of-thanksgiving-address.htmlReally? 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?
