    TIME: When terror imitates the soda commercial

    TIME: When terror imitates the soda commercial



    RAW STORY
    Published: Friday August 11, 2006

    An article at TIME.com notes that a soft drink commercial that mockingly depicts airport security agents confiscating a passenger's soda just so they can drink it themselves can still be seen on cable televison, and, in light of recent events, even the "normally irony-aware people at The Daily Show" haven't tried "stopping" it,
    RAW STORY has found.

    "Comedy writers are always fighting the last war," writes Joel Stein for
    Time.com. "And people who book commercials on cable channels don't pay a lot of attention."

    "PepsiCo, which owns Sierra Mist, says the commercial, which started airing in February, conveniently ended its official run on Sunday-three days before the foiling of the British terrorism plot was announced and 'liquid explosives' became a ubiquitous term," the article continues.

    "But cable companies are scheduled to dribble out the spot ads until Tuesday, and neither Pepsi nor the normally irony-aware people at The Daily Show —which was still airing the commercial as of Thursday — are stopping them," writes Stein.

    Sierra Mist commercial featuring comedienne Kathy Griffin:

    DAMN, I didn't know about that show.
    That's one of the strongest indirect predictions I've ever seen.
    So, I guess judging by this pattern, we need look no further than tv shows and tv commercials to get a clear perspective on their plans.
    Is there a DVD of that show available anywhere?
