aka, Japan's rising sun flag on drugs. Trying to pretend that a red/white combination is going to make people immediately think of the White Stripes = lame. Because Coke owns that. ;-)

Mmm... funsters...

Got this too. Whoever controls advertising at XL should begin hunting for a new position. Fast. No way will seeing a candy-striped building slam "Buy White Stripes CD" into my brain.

It does look very nice, though.

I hate when people isolate "Literally" as its own lame sentence.

I really think that one Licorice Pizza in Alhambra, CA should remove the Huey Lewis And The News "Small World" mural.. it's starting to date a little.

Ah, but that may be part of the master plan. Soon enough, anytime anyone goes to the machine to get a coke, they'll find themselves humming "dead leaves and the dirty grass".
