Cactus Kid Commercial Kicked Out
Posted in: UncategorizedCoca Cola may have thought they had another great commercial on the air but apparently they overlooked some areas of irresponsibility and dietary issues. Apparently, the script which featured a kid covered with Cactus running away with her pregnant girlfriend.
While the intent was to promote Oasis, a coke product being built, it was the whole concept of trying to promote teenagers to runaway. The pregnant girl may be of legal age, but the thing is that it is sending mixed signals to the masses.
The two commercials featured a character called The Cactus Kid, who was green, covered in spikes and did not like water.
His pregnant girlfriend was shown having a row with her mother before the couple sped away in a car in the style of an American road movie.
