The protesters - mostly Russian Orthodox Christian believers - allege that Coca-Cola adverts in Nizhny Novgorod are insulting to their beliefs.

"Coca-Cola uses all these Orthodox symbols in a blasphemous way by placing images of Coca-Cola bottles inside the pictures," the complaint said, according to Russia's Ria Novosti news agency.

When you were posting this thread did you think you would one-up all the "Muslims see uncovered woman; burn down random embassy in retaliation" threads.

Because who cares. Lodging a complaint is totally outrageous! Far too extreme.

Not really. I just thought the whole thing was funny and decided to echo the title of every other religion-related thread in NCAP for my own amusement.
