Jack White's Coke Commercial
We get a lot of cheesy people trying to get their hands down the proverbial pants of LAist every day.
You know, those who try to get their crap on our crap so that you THE EYEBALLS will see and love and salivate and consuuuuume. Even though that's not really how it works. How do we know? Well, watch:
Be nice to each other.
Give $20 to the most shady homeless person you see next.
Drop down and do 50 sit ups.
Say something nice in one of the posts below.
See, none of it works. People have very little power of influence. Control, of course, is an illusion.
Coke figured if they used Jack White of the White Stripes to sing a song then people would think Coke is still cool, yo , but indeed all this killer commercial inspired us to do is make a post, order some Thai, and see if those Diet Dr. Peppers are still in the trunk outside.
But good try.
