It all started with an advertisement posted on Facebook Thursday afternoon. It was silly, as advertisements for bubbly sugar-water are wont to be, and depicted Dr Pepper turning a primate into a homo sapien with the power of its deliciousness — ”the evolution of flavor.”

Did any you viewers home catch it? Did any of you catch the horrible thing?

You got it folks — Dr Pepper said “evolution.”

People got quite mad about this, you see, because evolution is obviously fake, and the people who are outraged over this attack on religious freedom have TAKEN TO THE INTERNET, because they cannot be bothered to get off their couches and storm an embassy.

Seriously, every damn time. Can't we sequester these morons apart from functioning society? Is there an island somewhere we can ship them to?

1. Those who deny evolution

are the most in need of it.

2. I believe the Island of Dr. Moreau is available.

Seems somehow fitting and proper.

3. They only made the advert because Dr Pepper tastes like primordial soup

It's a nasty brew of dodgy chemicals. Yes, I caught the horrible thing once - and I'm never drinking it again. I haven't seen the ad, though.

5. What "chemicals" are you referring to...

and what specific deleterious effects?

on edit; I have never tasted primordial soup but I think the beverage in question has a hint of plum.

[muriel_volestrangler]

6. I have no idea which chemicals - they are 'dodgy' because they taste disgusting

So you could say the deleterious effect was "a profound sense of depression, both from the sensation of tasting the swill, and the realisation that people are gullible enough to make such a horrible drink into a major brand".

8. Oh so you just don't like it.....

Who cares?

[rexcat]

15. Kind of my point...

it seems this person is not the only one who does not like the beverage. Much hyperbole and a thoughtless comment.

[ReasonableToo]

12. And raisins

Don't know how the rest of my family drinks the swill.

4. It seems there are people who spend their lives

sifting through everything around them looking for something to be offended by.

And nowhere in law are they guaranteed a life free from offense.

FWIW, I'm not fond of fizzy cough syrup, which is what the stuff always tasted like to me. However, the commercial is witty, unlike the "no gurls alowed" one.

7. People got quite mad about this,

Yeah.... but not that many and nobody worth bothering with. Such a non-story...except for the foolishness, which I'm glad to see being played up.

9. Their anger makes me want to try some Dr. Pepper, even though I'm not much of a soda drinker

10. I like the "...because they cannot be bothered to get off their couches and storm an embassy" part

I like the "...because they cannot be bothered to get off their couches and storm an embassy" part. It reminds us the the main difference between them and the guys burning down embassies is mostly just laziness. I have no doubt that many of the Talibaptists would gladly set fire to any number of public buildings, except that Hannity is on and they don't want to miss American Idolatry later.

11. which embassy

would they storm if they weren't lazy? Dr. Peppers? lol

[cleanhippie]

13. No no no, everyone knows that Mr. Pibb is an evil dictator.

[Nevernose]

14. I didn't say they'd storm an embassy

I said they'd storm any number of public buildings.
