Have a Coke and a Smile ... Without Jesus

After a Facebook user posted a video showing that he couldn’t create a custom Coke can with the word “Jesus” on it, some Christians say they’ll be boycotting the beverage company.

The online melodrama started with a video posted by Antwoine Hill on Facebook over the weekend. In it, Hill is at a machine in a Coca-Cola store, showing how he’s able to write the names of other religious figures, like “Allah,” “Buddah [sic],” or “Satan,” on a custom can of soda, but not “Jesus.” In fact, when he attempts to write “Jesus,” Hill receives an error message.

“Sadly, we cannot automatically allow this text on the can!” the machine states. “If you feel this is a mistake, please speak to a store representative.”

Can you put "Stupid Coke Executives" on a can? I'd bet that this gets fixed quickly, but who thought up the idea of customizing cans in the first place? Anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex could have predicted outcomes such as this one.
