Is this for real? Its amazing the BS we are fed by corporations and the government. Im sure in 20 to 30 years we will wonder how we could have ever bought in to the BS they churn out now. I think "hope" is a double edged sword.

WOW! Just fucking WOW! That is so wrong in so many ways that I am at a loss... is this for real?

Yep - no doubt 30 years from now we'll be shocked by the primitive beliefs on health that we have now. It's hard to predict what will be shocking, but it's fun to guess:

I'm going to put out there notions like ADD, RoundUp Ready™ seeds and scheduled Caesarians.

This is a disturbing, depressing ad. I feel sorry for those babies.

The ad industry was born out of the propaganda of WW2. That is pretty jaw dropping. Maybe it's a Pepsi false flag op. -kidding

^ that's an interesting idea- and I wouldn't put it past them, except the ad is generic support for all soda pop. [gasp] maybe it's a Dairy Board conspiracy.

I can remember the absolute horror on my ex wife's face when she first visited with my family in North Carolina (were I hale from originally) and at the airport witnessed a mother giving, what must have been a kid between 1 -2 years old, swigs of her Mountain Dew soda, while holding the kid on her hip and smoking a cig inches from the child's face... welcome to NC, indeed.

Please let it be fake. If we've come this far in a generation or two, I don't think I want to know what charges my kids will aim at me in the future, for stuff I decide for them now. I just think I'm enlightened.

Those babies are my parents generation! No wonder.....

well the ad was sanctioned by the "Soda Pop Board of America" and if they say it's ok, I say its ok.

@dag: I think a lot of people already realize that Roundup Ready seeds are just the first step in a whole lotta trouble agriculturally, and that scheduled Caesareans are just part of the medical industry's money-making scheme...

However, as both are sanctioned and pushed for by very rich and powerful industry interest groups, its going to be hard to convince the populace to fight for change in an industry very few of them actually participate in anymore, or convince women to give up having perfectly round headed babies and keeping a tight va-jay-jay (or so they think anyway)...

As for ADD, well, I think we all know that it is the result of our own video-addled culture... ehem... but, the drugs that we've designed to treat it are just so damn fabulous! I can't wait till my scheduled caesarean babies get old enough to hook me up with pills. 'Bout time our children started giving back a little.

HAHA this is great. YDJ is right about the south. I grew up in S.C. and EVERYONE drank Mt. Dew. After school we stopped by the little Ma and Pop ran store to buy a comicbook and Mt. Dew. Yeahhhh.... we'd dig down in the fridge to find one w/ ice in it, and if you looked hard enough you could find one of the old style bottles w/ the hillbillies w/ guns on them. (for all you kiddies out there...all sodas were in bottles )
Even today when we all know better than to give our kids all this crap, kids in my hometown drink Mt Dew by the gallons. I heard that there is an additive in the yellow drink that makes the flavor linger in the mouth longer to make the drinker want more. That additive adheres to the teeth over time staining them. The dentist said he could always tell if the kid is a Mt. Dew drinker. Gross huh?

I would like to add that soda back in the days of this ad above did use real cane sugar and not high fructose corn syrup, so I bet it tasted better. High Fructose corn syrup is an evil substance that should be obliterated from public use.

I'm not advocating soda...just reminiscing I'm sooooo glad I'm out of the south

Ugh... Mountain Dew plus Children = Utter Mayhem

Brings back terrible memories of babysitting back in junior high school for these kids who lived down the street... their parents (who were both registered nurses, btw, and you would think would know better) used to let their kids (3 of them) have unrestricted access to the Dew, like, they would go through a couple two liters in a day.... so usually, by the time I got there for their parents to slip off to dinner and a movie, they were all amped up and bouncing off the walls... and not just that, they were out of control, fighting, screaming, once the boy got into his dad's tool box in the garage and chased his sisters around with a hammer... and, surprise! they would never go to sleep because they were perpetually wound up, it was ridiculous... finally I had to put my foot down and tell the parents that I wouldn't babysit anymore if their kids were allowed to drink caffeine before I showed up. They were noticeably better after that, but apparently the withdrawl symptoms were rough on the kids, because I was eventually replaced with a more tolerant babysitter.

I hear Mt. Dew can flavor one's semen if consumed in large quantities (2L or more per day)

^My intellectual comment for the day

I think you'll find that that is actually the most dangerous thing on the internet: A collection of both real and fake ads.

For instance the Puma one: http://www.adrants.com/2003/03/puma-ads-not-for-the-squeamish.php

Fake

The one that you've posted above even has an address to thecitydesk.net, which when you go and look at their site it's described as "Fictional urbanism. Semi-regular items about a city."

I'm going to call fake on this one too.

Look, back in the day there were many amazing claims made about things that we know now to be blatant lies. The Camel ad for instance is real (they had a
whole campaign around the slogan
)

But this one just rings as being a little too unbelievable... much like the 'is it always illegal to kill a woman' ad on there... what is actually supposed to be advertising if it were a real ad?

OH Really MG?!! What's it taste like?!

BWWWAHAHHAHHAHHA!!!!!!

Reminds me of that song, "Coca Cola Douche" by the Fugs....

"My baby ain't got no money-
but her pussy taste's just like hunny-
cause she mix that.....Coca Cola Douche!!!!"


says right there on the add "yer kid will have a better time fitting in in those awkward teenage years".....I believe that's true...you don't see hummingbirds hangin' out with woodpeckers do ya????

I like that thorazine ad..."The patient MUST NOT vomit!!!

Where are my fellow skeptics? I can't believe you guys would think this was real. I mean back in the earlier part of the last century they did market these soda's as a kind of health drink. But telling parents to give their kids cola so they have a better chance of "fitting in"...you should have felt your leg being pulled.

Oh no doubt this is fun with photoshop. That said, my personal account above^ is not fiction and brings the grain of truth that people need to believe this could be real.

I think I could actually hear the kids teeth dissolving as it sipped on the green goodness.

Dude, Grimm... see my first comment!
