ok, finally. for me, it all started when the coke machine on the bottom floor of the social & behavioral science building broke. by broke, i mean that soda bottles were up against the glass/plastic force field falling off the shelves. then, it progressed with folded pieces of paper shoved up the dollar bill slots of all coke machines in that building. you could only get soda by using change. that's when someone told me that someone is protesting coke being on campus. at that point, i thought "who are they to prevent me from drinking empty calories? those dickfucks!"
then, i read in the stony brook press that some indian chick came to stony brook to talk about how the coke company is killing her country or something like that. the paper says that the allegations against coke is that they take up "250,000 gallons of water per day from local water sources in order to make their products. Since 70 % of India's people rely on agriculture to make a living, water is a necessity on multiple levels." Also, "[t]he poisoned wastewater from these Coca-Cola plants is indiscriminately disposed of into the surrounding community." then, there are the "human-rights violations" in south america, including death threats, murder, and abductions. however, the writer later says the coke company "is fully aware of these practices by their business partners and does nothing to discourage it." WHO GIVES A SHIT?! they are not in charge of their "business partners", so your entire argument is flawed.
then, there's the economic part of the argument, wanting to get pepsi in on this. "We must demand a choice". what other choices are there? pepsi? that stuff tastes like shit! rc cola?! that stuff tastes like puke AND shit! i bet that if pepsi was exclusively at stony brook, people would complain for the same shit reasons.
there is also a facebook group dedicated to this boycott. apparently, they are protesting tonight outside the student activities center, or the SAC for those who love contractions. like it's any surprise that stony brook's SAC is the center of trouble on this campus (yes, that was meant to be a pun). one claim that they make is "the Coca-Cola Company struggles to make us 'consumers for life', and one of the ways they can achieve this is through our university". too late, fucktard. i was addicted to coke long before i came to college. i don't care! it's cheaper than water! 99 cents for a 2-liter bottle! where are you going to get water for that price? forget the coke company, go after the water companies who sell bottled water for $1 for a half-liter. they're the ones who are stealing our money and want us to be customer's for life!
here's my problem with all this bullshit. who gives a fuck about india and south america? if it's gotten to the point where college students from different countries need to advocate for those countries, then they're more fucked up then we are and they deserve to have shitty tasting water. give them some coke, it'll refresh them in no time. what's more, our coke doesn't even come from there. we get our coke from queens! and every time i pass by the bottling plant when i drive on the LIE, i look at it and i get a hard-on.
fucking hippies, go to hell!
