Relax you uptight morons. its a great commerical that brings a good laugh and dosent destroy the brand. I actually have never had the product but will definately try it now...unless you're the type of people who drink it...then I might stay away.
BTW the commerical has only air'd after hours, so 8 yr old's will not be watching...and its a caffeinated product which appeals to the young, fun people.

amazing! i just saw the ad on tv and had to google it to see if they really said the f word. hilarious and makes me wanna try pom coffee. the people who are offended are probably not the people they want buying the product. good for them for pushing the envelope.

honestly how can someone get offended?!
its a word man its not like racist sheep ther just fooling around with words plus its sheep.
if anything those serta commercials are offensive because they show violence by pulling off tags and their force of advertising to make ppl by those mattresses.
personally this commercial is amazing and it better be on those best comm. of 08 or else.
ps: its actually good and the pom juice is amazing as well.

I'm a New Yorker.. and I thought the ad was funny, they should have put subtitles probably would have saved it. (personally I don't even think the real "F" word is that offensive any more but that could just me be.) I've tried the iced coffee and I think its pretty good, but.. I was shocked to discover they are using #7 Plastic for the bottles.. yeah real healthy choice... POM wonderful, I expected better from you guys.
#7 plastic is made with bisphenol A and is a known link to cancer and obesity problems. shame.. shame..

I actually liked this commercial. I work with teens and college students and believe the snarky, shock-factor will resignate big time with them. French Connection made their brand off of playing on the FCUK slogan...and that brand thrived because of it.
Can't wait to try the product! :)

I'm young, progressive and open-minded and even I thought this commerical was offensive. Stupid move.

What a way to destroy a brand. This spot takes away years of good will.

Just saw this at end of Conan O'Brien and immediately had to search online about it. Even after watching again, I can't believe they said FLOCK. Take the L out. It sure sounds like they said the real deal to me. And the Go Daddy commercials got vetoed from Super Bowl a couple years ago? ahem...

I was offended by this commercial and will not be buying pomwonderful products because of it.

I saw this commercial on NBC during prime time. I was shocked by the language. Don't you have people who can be creative without being offensive? I wouldn't want my granddaughters to see it. Take it off the air.

Cute - Bring back the glasses for the PomTea and put the coffee in glasses too.
