Multilingual Coke Commercial Sparks Debate | Voice of America - English
While the general consensus was that this year’s Super Bowl ads were mediocre, an ad from soft drink giant Coca-Cola sparked a lively conversation. Coke’s ad features the song “America the Beautiful,” which is often considered the second national anthem, sung in several different languages by a multiethnic cast of singers. The song was sung in English, Tagalog, Spanish, Hebrew, Hindi, Keres and Senegalese-French. The commercial also featured a gay family. The Super Bowl has become the place to debut funny, moving or even controversial advertisements.
Hey I will never drink your products again... You sing AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL in English!!!!!! Hey This is America. English, please. I proudly support . Your commercial was absolutely beautiful. Loved that commercial too. These are the faces - and sounds - of America Very disappointed in the American people for causing such an uproar around the ad. So ignorant.
