1970s Coca Cola Ad - Interesting story - Beacon - 05-14-2009

This is a little OT, but I was watching a documentary which included a story about that 1970s Coca Cola Ad where everyone is singing "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.." etc.

Apparently it was one of the first ads to be aired worldwide - except it never got aired in South Africa. When South African officials saw it, they went back to Coca Cola and asked for a version without black people in it.

Coca Cola told them to f**k off.  Hehehe.
