I thought Coke's commercial was a great response to last year, when there was such a backlash against including a gay couple in their advertising.
It's one thing for 4chan to come in and ruin the day, but for an actual company with actual managers and employees to ruin another company's advertising campaign by quoting Hitler? That's crossing a line, unfortunately one that Gawker has crossed many times in the past. How have they not been sued out of existence...

Coke's #makeithappy campaign ended up being pulled thanks to an effort by Gawker, that's gotta have some marketing folks upset.
Here's wondering if the gossip mongers like Nick Denton might have to pay the price for their tomfoolery.

The commercial last year was the one with 'America The Beautiful' and the backlash was having it sung in other languages besides English.
Not really sure where you're pulling the gay thing from.
There was a controversy over America the Beautiful being sung in other languages, but also over the same commercial featuring a gay couple.
