It is incredibly silly for people to get offended by this ad, in my opinion. However, as a national brand, it's not really wise to choose an advertising scheme that could be considered controversial or offensive by some so you don't end up potentially losing some of your target demographic.
Because it makes the baby jebus cry.
Am I the only one who hates Doctor Pepper anyway?
Yes. Now go back to Commonist Russia.

. . . and now . . . well now damnit . . . damnit now I need tissues!
My comment was not meant to arouse :lol:
Edit: Don't think I thought this one through all the way but whatever we'll run with it.
I know I'm not the only one, but I just don't see where belief in God and acceptance of the theory of evolution are mutually exclusive.
I think it has something to do with the fact that the Bible says that God created the world in six days, six thousand years ago. That's somewhat incompatible with a scientific theory that says it took billions and billions of years for us to arrive here.
Those people who are inclined to take the Bible as The Ultimate Book Of Everything have an embarrassing tendency to try to apply it to everything, including science. And of course that creates a lot of conflict, and the True Believers end up wrong and in an uncomfortable place because science usually wins. They're tired of losing and want to fight back against anything that threatens the supremacy of their religious views.
Seems pretty simple to me.

I applaud anyone who stands up for their beliefs in lawful and peaceful way such as boycotting. All these comments about people who are offended by evolution being from the dark ages are nonsense. This idea that everybody has to think a certain way is what is from the dark ages.
Personally, I was already boycotting Dr Pepper because it tastes like ****.
LOL - someone needs to do a creation-theory Dr Pepper add ot balance it out and sooth the masses.
Oh - that someone will be mua!

I wouldn't know, since I haven't contradicted myself. Anybody is free to believe anything they want. But this idea that you are espousing, that people must believe like you or they are wrong and bad, that kind of thinking SHOULD have gone out with the dark ages. You disappoint me by demonstrating that it hasn't.Another way I lawfully and peacefully stand up for my belief that creationism is an outdated, irrational belief straight out of the dark ages is lawfuly and peacefully stating, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that I believe creationism is an outdated, irrational belief straight out of the dark ages.
Isn't it hilarious when someone contradicts himself in the very next sentence?

That's the most asinine statement ever. The very basis for this SITE is that there are correct and incorrect (right and wrong) opinions, approaches, ideologies, methodologies, etc.
Is it right or wrong to stab a random person walking to their car in a parking lot?
Is it right or wrong to steal money from your employer?
Is it right or wrong to piss on the American flag (I'm so ready to make a play on this one, so tread carefully)?
If I believe it is wrong to starve animals to death, and somebody else supports starving animals to death, there's nothing wrong with me believing they're wrong or even that they're bad for espousing such beliefs.
