Majora Carter talks about being selected by Coca-Cola to carry the torch for the Olympic Relay in San Francisco.
This is pretty interesting when you consider that Majora Carter is an outspoken activist and that many people are starting to protest Coke's sponsorship of the Beijing Olympics.

By the way, during the relay Majora whipped out a Tibetan flag. Immediately, the torch was snatched from her hands and she was pushed to the side. Good times!

parisinia, great point.
As far as keeping high fructose corn syrup out of people I've got a novel idea. One in which you can make your statement to Coke and benefit your health... don't drink it.
I do like Majora Carter, though.

coca cola has sponsored the Olympics for over 80 years. So lets not just throw coca cola as supporting chinas oppressive politics. The Olympic games are not the same as the governing body of its host country.
On the health record... well thats coke.
