Pepsi Cola 'politically correct' ad

Anyone saw it yet? I just did, and I admit, it took me about 15 seconds after it ended to get over 'WTF?' and laugh.

It's still not on Youtube, I guess they just started it, but it wouldn't take long. In short, they are making fan of PC-speech, like "you shouldn't say Diet Coke lacks taste, you should say it's a little challenged in Cola taste department" and "if this advertisement offend someone's sensibilities, we offer our sincere politically correct apologies". Pretty funny.

yeah, sounds like fun ) I actually heard the phrase 'vertically challenged' in a British talk show one of these days. I hope it was a joke, though.

It's a very well established joke, I hear it here pretty often, esp. when my colleagues ask me to pick something from the top shelf.
