I think I can top that-- I went to see Alien vs Predator:Requiem the day it came out, and like everything else these days it had the commercial for the National Guard at the beginning. And then halfway through the movie the National Guard gets called in and promptly chowed upon by aliens. I have to admit that made me chuckle just a bit in the context.
"Join the National Guard! Visit fascinating places, meet interesting creatures, and be eaten by them!"
As for good, bad, or indifferent I guess I've never really cared about those commercials in particular. I don't drink Coke either but it's never bothered me to see those commercials before hand, my eyes just glaze over a bit and I keep waiting for the movie to start. Maybe some people are more predisposed to just accepting advertising? I don't really watch alot of TV so I can't blame it on that, but with as prevalent as advertising is these days (TV, internet banners, magazines) most of the time I don't even pay much attention.
