Godless Pledge Can Part 2

I had a second thought about the Godless pledge of allegiance Pepsi can controversy.  How could people believe it was true? For example, why would Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper and other Lords of Sugar be kow-towing to political correctness by omitting the word God anyway?  Pepsi clears things up here, but do you really need a soda company to be doing your critical thinking?

Look, folks who are offended about God being in the pledge are not the people buying soda.  They are those hybrid car folks who dislike soda, guns, trans fats, greasy barbecues, successful businessmen, northwest logging companies, and anything else connected to the unwashed masses. And the people who do like soda, you know, that sugar stuff "da poor" drink, are rather fond of God in the pledge or are at least ambivalent about it.  In other words, the meme doesn't make sense from a marketing point.

Look at it this way.  It would be like Pepsi putting "Football Sucks" on a Pepsi can. Not gonna happen.  See, you gotta think critically about these things.  Even when it is just about crappy hypothetical soda cans.
