Not in the least. Capitalism at its best. And if I am so weak minded that I go purchase a coke because I saw Harrison Ford drinking one then I deserve whatever the death-in-a-can soda does to me.

If I recall correctly.....I think it was the movie The Firm (Tom Cruise as a lawyer who ends up unwittingly going to work for a mob law firm). In the book, he gets a new Mercedes as a signing bonus. In the movie, it's a BMW. Why? Because BMW paid for it. Who the hell cares? He's got to drive something. Why not let him drive the car of the biggest bidder?

So no.....it doesn't bother me at all.
