NOW PLAYING ON NBC! Olympic Hunger Games: SOCHI!
The horrifying story of a maniacal despot who runs rough shod over the human right to free speech and assembly. Aided and abetted by his “Partners” in crime, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Dow Chemical, Procter & Gamble, General Electric, Panasonic, Samsung, Omega, Visa, Atos, Putin terrorizes Russia’s LGBT community, with a little help from Neo-Nazi friends. Do not expect this to show on NBC.Created by Scott Wooledge, of #CheersToSochi, the social networking campaign challenge sponsors of the Sochi Olympic games to speak out for global LGBT equality.
Queer Nation NY statement on Coca-Cola’s “It’s Beautiful,” diversity Super-Bowl commercial.
“The LGBT community already has a gay version of a Coca-Cola ad and it’s been a viral sensation, as Coke well knows. At more than 90,0000 views on YouTube it has been embraced by people in 170 different countries around the world.
It’s nice that Coke has made another ad, but if reports are true it only aired in LGBT-friendly western markets that’s a shameful act. Coca-Cola still has not lifted a finger to help the persecuted LGBT community of Russia. And that will remain a stain on their brand for years. Coke needs to come out of the Russian closet with the company’s support for all LGBT peoples’ human rights.

This is a personal project in reaction to Coca Cola continuing to sponsor the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and not taking a stance against the horrific brutal attacks that have happened and continue to happen in Russia due to the anti gay laws.
Join us at http://tellcoke.com/ to ask Coca-Cola to extend its U.S. LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination policies to its employees in Russia and worldwide, use its Olympic advertising campaign to express support for LGBT Russians and tell Putin to end his war on gays.
Watch this bat-channel! #DumpSochi
The International Olympic Committee’s choice to collaborate with the oppression of LGBT Russians places it and sponsors like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble, and NBC on the wrong side of history. Jean-Claude Killy, Thomas Bach, and the entire International Olympic Committee should be ashamed of themselves.http://bit.ly/1baw1KD
