Super Bowl Commercial Controversy

Following the Super Bowl yesterday night, Coke's commercial caused an enormous amount of annoyance throughout many Americans via social media. Along with outrage this ad made many Americans proud. The ad was called It's Beautiful and featured many different ethnicity's singing America The Beautiful in several languages. This ad was also the first ad in Super Bowl history to feature a gay couple. Below is an image showing peoples thoughts through Twitter tweets. (Image via BizPac Review)




Watch the ad here.

I personally do not agree with the people that think this ad was un-American. I think one of the things that makes America unique is the many different cultures that are within our borders. It seems that Coke is also standing by their commercial and airing a 90 second version of the same ad during the opening of the Olympics.
