I lost respect for Dr. Pepper because they show the theory of evolution [View all]

"this is showing the theory of men evolving from apes. I have lost all respect for Dr Pepper and if Dr Pepper wants business from thousands of people they will need to apologize."

Oh wow you guys. Imagine the respect Dr. Pepper would have lost from thousands of people if they shown the germ theory of disease, cell theory, kinetic theory of gases, theory of relativity, theory of plate tectonics, or theory of... (gasp!) gravity.
