Coke is for creationist cretins

I don't drink caffeinated beverages anymore (I gave them up when I converted to Mormonism1) so it's easy for me to refuse to give Coca Cola any more of my business, but this news may cause more distress to others: Coca Cola is a corporate partner with the Creation "Museum". Ken Ham can brag about this meaningless exploitation of his suckers "museum" attendees for profit, but I doubt that Coke wants to trumpet this news — it looks like they're sponsoring stupidity.

I don't know that there is much point to protesting the association anyway. If Coke pulled out, you know the local Pepsi distributors would jump in to offer a contract, and then Ken Ham would proudly point to their deal as somehow vindicating their existence.

At least now we self-sacrificing, noble, healthier deniers of sugary caffeinated toxins can add a new level of sanctimony to our denunciations of Coca Cola's consumers by pointing out that they are stooges of creationism, as well.2
