This Coca Cola advertisement features the ever so popular Grand Theft Auto video game. Grand Theft Auto is one of the most violent and graphic video games produced, which portrays violence and stealing in a casual manner (players can steal cars and randomly shoot people on the street). Targeted towards the male population, there have been cases where teenage boys reflected this behavior of violence.
Putting the violent video game aside, the sugary Coca Cola soda is featured as a happy, jolly, "lovable" drink in this commercial, where it, as over exaggeratedly shown as a broadway musical, solves all problems. I think they should at least start including "side effects" in these ads of all the numerous problems caused by the consumption of coke. Even if it is done like those drug ads on TV, with the super sped up voice over which know one ever understands.
