Here's the vid in question, I think it's funny and not sexist but some are up in arms about it.

Tell a woman she can't do something, then watch her do it!
How's that for sexist?

LMAO, Realist. I'm not sure why some are so pissed about it. The place I found it had one woman swearing she would never drink Dr. Pepper again. I mean, really, it's a funny commercial and even though I don't normally drink Dr. Pepper, I might try it just to see what the fuss is about. That to me is marketing not sexism.

If they made a decent product, it wouldn't be such a big deal would it?
People I know that drink diet soda are equally balanced between males and females.
Besides, in my opinion, Dr Pepper tastes like over-carbonated prune juice.
Can you say "marketing scheme?"

Ahhhh, back in my "Bad Girl" days it was Capt Morgan's Spiced Rum (When it Was a spiced rum) and Dr. Pepper over ice. Damn that was good.....:bigrin:

Sorry boys and girls, I love Dr. Pepper. Always have, always will. Can drink it first thing in the morning, last thing in the day. I love it with alcoholic additives and straight :) My crappy internet won't load either of these links so I have no idea what you guys are talking about LOL

Well Shy honey, the video is an ad for Dr. Pepper 10, marketed at men, at "Manly Men" and does a lot of stuntlike things implying this diet drink is a man's drink yadda yadda.

ROFL, I didn't have much luck finding a lot of American stuff in NZ. I was wondering around town with LDD and we found this nice butcher's shop where I got some stew meat and some bacon to put in pinto beans. Finding the pinto beans was a whole other ballgame and we wound up at this... closest I can come is a health food store here... and found the beans and some cornmeal so I could make cornbread. In the little cooling box next to the register was a can of Dr. Pepper. Only time I saw that drink anywhere in his town. To this day I still giggle at the thought of Dr. Pepper in a health food store.

Ha!! That's hilarious....Dr. Pepper is the farthest thing from a health food drink! It's terrible for a person, yet I can't stop drinking it LOL
Here's a funny one...my friend manages a Heatlh Food store where we live. She and I were talking about bacon (it's a long story) and she tells me they have bacon flavored toothpaste. WTH?? I love bacon more than is normal but the thought of anything bacon flavored in a health food store is a huge oxymoron to me. LOL

All I can say is you must have cast iron guts....it smells like old wound dressings let alone the taste :crosseye:
