Why can't chick flicks be: guy meets girl, guy gets girl, guy watches footy, girl gets snacks?
What is it with chick flicks? And what is with girls who want to drag me along to see them? And then all that - awwwwww that's so romantic, glancing over at me as if to say "you taking notes?" I say why can't chick flicks start giving women realistic expectations? The plot can start out traditionally enough - guy meets girl, guy gets girl, but then things would take an exciting and unexpected twist - guy watches footy and girl gets snacks. Nice, huh? Trust me we would all be better off.
EDIT: this just gets funnier... here's some coke employee seeding forums:
unclasp that accordion and get back doing what you once loved? get in touch with your inner rock god. and play. Why can’t I be a rock star? Why can’t we all be rock stars.

I've been confused about what they are getting at with their advertising for this.... it's annoying to say the least.
I thought Diet Coke was totally sugar free too? What's so special about this stuff? I looked at a can the other day and read the ingrediants. Strangley enough I don't think it uses nutri-sweet or aspartame. It didn't have any bold "PHENYLKETONURICS - Contains Phenylalanine". So what are they using to sweeten this beverage, or is it not sweet at all?
I hate any company that promotes product on bill poster style areas. Those areas are for entertainment promotion. IKEA and the like can go and spend their $$$$ on proper bill boards and leave the streets for the rest of us.
yeah i think its strange coke is still pushing diet coke, now that it is pretty common knowledge that artificial sweeteners mutate cells and in long term cause cancer. you think they would be trying to disassociate themselves from that shzznit.
i rnk valuetime your on the money mate with that last statement..
First you get her name. Then you get her number. Then you get some get some in the back seat of a hummer!
well, also because they can actually make something that tastes vaguely like coke. people have gotten used to diet coke, they won't want to change, so you've gotta give them the options.
that being said, 'coca-cola classic' is not actually the classic recipe, in the usa. something about corn syrup and finding a vastly cheaper alternative, so it tastes nothing like normal coke. *rolls eyes*

So if I drink 'proper' coke, and not the 'no sugar' type, does that mean I most probably have a huge cock?

THey just keep changing the name of aspartame so that plebs feel safe.

yeah, but the "diet" varieties never said "aspartame" they said atificial sweetener or nutri-sweet or something like that... and by the packaging needs to be labeled with "PHENYLKETONURICS - Contains Phenylalanine". The "zero" packaging lacks any such warnings.
it's the perfect opportunity for people on here to say 'i know more about advertising and marketing than a big multinational' and feel good about themselves ...

My Mum's a naturopath so she's always dropping heaps of printed pages on my bed to hint at a healthier lifestyle. One was about a chick who had been having major headaches for years and years, and she couldn't figure out why. She drank heaps of water, ate well, was healthy and normal in everyway except these darn migraines. Her usual doc's just kept feeding her pills, so she went to a herbalist/naturopath for a second opinion. They did questionaires about her eating habits etc and determined that her headaches were caused by Aspartme. She cut it out of her diet totally and within a week she was free of migraines for life.
That's just one woman's story, I'm sure there's more. I find it irritating as hell that just because mega corporations will suffer profit losses if they reveal the truth or stop producing Aspartme based drinks, no government or corporately funded research is being conducted. WHY???

hmm, not sure if you give a fuck or not? if you didn't, you wouldn't have posted. but it seems like you have, and you do? quite confusing really...
1. It's black
2. It comes in a bottle or can of varying sizes.
3. When you pop a can, it go's "pssst"
4. If you drink it too fast your eyes water, and you make sounds like 'ahhhh' aftertwards.
5. It increases the girth of your genitals.

both, it's asking the question with "great" (thus the exclamation mark) disbelief that you'd be that fucken stupid.
Thanks for clarifying that mate, I was concerned that the statement was a touch ambiguous ... but your prompt response meant that any anxiety I had as a result was brief.

Anytime, "dude", I'm glad we've cleared that up, "mate". For the record, I'm not your mate, so fucken don't even pretend to know me. Also nice use of multiple syllable words in your witty retort, what a way to show me up and raise the ante, I feel like such a dolt. You must be a lawyer or wordsmith? Sorry I just forgot, you’re a DJ and a shit one at that.
