Coke Corrupts Our Kids

A recent Coca-Cola ad describes some teen dude trying to hook up with many a teen chick. Each attempt is thwarted by a) a cuter dude with a cast b) a hotter dude with a car or c) his mom coming to pick him up early.

In the end of the ad the narrator gives the kid some advice: Break a bone, get a car, and stop telling your mom where we're hanging out.

Or at least that's what he used to say. Now every time I see it, he ends the advice with ..and try to get your game on before curfew. Now, It's often the case that a company will air two versions of an ad, each with a different joke or scene or edit. But nope, the actually went back and changed the end of the ad. My only guess is that someone grew concerned with the ad telling this kid, and by extension, every coke-drinking kid in the universe, that they shouldn't tell their parents where they were hanging out at nights.

Maybe I just lived a blessed life with a dad who didn't really worry about where I was, telling me to call if I needed a ride and leaving it at that, but still.. are there really parents out there that think a coke ad joke could possibly lead to anything more dangerous than, say, cavities or juvenile diabetes?
