An energy drink called Cocaine has been from pulled from stores nationwide amid concerns about its name, the company that produces it said Monday. What do you-all think? You can read the full story here, but know that it does contain advertisements: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18537394/wid/11915773?GT1=10008

I think it's rather hypocritical when Coke aka Coca-Cola no longer contains any coca or kola (Although I think perhaps there make be some "coal tar" coke in there ^_^).

What I really think is... thier next drink should be called "*uck you" and we'll see how much it is about marketing and/or the actual name of the product.

One man's crudity is another's truth... not that they are necessarily (n)either polar opposites (n)or mutually *inclusive, but... with my example, it is *exactly the use of the word(s) that is in question, not unacceptable marketing, or (dog dibrof) what the words are actually supposed to mean (as I so easily masked).
*My point.
I'll replace one letter with an *assterisk... lemme know if I chose an decrudifying one.
Kinda like when FCC chooses to bleep out "the" word, blurr the mouth, yet really can't do anything about the context or the fact that everyone on the planet knows.... actually thinks to themselves the sound of the word. Rather foolish and self defeating.

ROTFLMAO. Which reminds me of an ancient joke: "I'm thinking of a word that begins with an f and ends with -uck. That's right: firetruck." Yoni schwa quay molly ponce. Play on, musick!
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

-so maybe I'm old-fashioned. I still think it is uneccessary to glorify or trivialize something as damaging as cocaine.
