snow white turtle doves

Now that Obama's our President, his first decree is to change the national anthem to "I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke" He'll deal with the war on terror by treating our terrorist brothers with a ice cold bottle of CocaCola.

This 1971 commercial is probably the most memorable commercial of our generation. It's been remade several times throughout the decades, as hippies turned to yuppies to middle aged to old folk.

The lyrics by the way sound a lot like President Obama's Inaugural Speech. Sometimes Obama - you've got to teach people harmony with a bayonet.

I remember a few different variations of this commercial - so this is the original version?

I guess "We are the World" took over the globalized touchy-feely mantra. Was it quoted today, by any chance?

No, not that I know of. Anytime Obama opens his mouth there is no substance - just platitudes. I do think of that old Coke song every time he opens his mouth.
