The makers of “Cocaine” energy drink have a website here that provides some “public service announcements” in video form near the bottom right of the main page.
Do you think they are a helpful or effective deterrent to illegal Cocaine use? Write us & less us know! Or use the comment section below.
Right on the can, they state that it’s “The Legal Alternative” Over the name “Cocaine” that is emblazoned on the front of the can in a self admittedly white powdery looking font.
I mean what did these dim-wits think? Did they really think parents & anti-drug abuse advocates were going to let them undo years of “Say no to drugs” work that Police officers have spent doing D.A.R.E programs in local schools, without a fight? So much for market research.. Unless of course maybe the guy who did their market research was high at time? That may be a plausible explanation..
Now besides the obviously irresponsible nature of the packaging, it has also come out today that children’s health is being seriously threatened by drinks that have insane levels of caffeine in them. Yeah yeah, I know what the Redux dopes are grumbling & mumbling while they are reading this; “But nobody forces them to drink it.. No fair, it’s not our problem!” Well technically you’re right, but morally you’re totally wrong. If kids had a solid sense of limits, we wouldn’t ever need to discipline them, but we all know we need to. So no matter what or “how” you crack-er heads over at Redux think, it’s wrong to promote this drink knowing that the under-aged will buy it & abuse it in many cases.
Here’s an image of the product which I speak of.. Be sure to write them & let them know what you think of YOUR child being exposed to it at the local convenience store.
Also complain to any company that sells any product made by Redux, as long as they make asinine justifications for the “Cocaine” brand name on their website..
Nice huh? Bottoms up little Johnny… Maybe tomorrow on your 13th birthday we can score some hookers. Well, if you live that long…
*Update*
I got a sappy e-mail from an endorser of this product who is apparently a professional paint ball player.. For the purposes of this article, we will call him “Inkspot”. Among Inkspot’s defensive arguments for the Redux Inc. energy drink product “Cocaine”, was that convenience stores have all kinds of bad products in them for children to see or purchase, so why pick on Redux?
My answer:
Well name one that uses the name of a drug to promote it, that has destroyed the lives of as many people as cocaine has, & then get back to me.. Name one that they can buy without being 18, & that’s not kept behind the counter. If you find one, I’ll write about it also. Also, you may comment on this post. Please explain why the fact that there are other companies putting out products that promote drugs & alcohol uses with their products & various vices to young people, justifies “Cocaine” energy drink using the name of a drug that has killed or ruined the lives of millions to promote their product. Ever hear that old saying “two wrongs don’t make a right”?
Show me the idiocy of another company who is doing this, & I’ll be glad to denounce them too.
I leave you with this from a Sept 2006 ABC News story, & few more comments on that, & a video that show’s how narcissistic this founder of this company really is..
The Secret Formula?
Kirby confesses that a “throat-numbing” ingredient is added to the drink to emulate its namesake, but he won’t divulge the identity of that add-in, saying it’s confidential.
“We’re getting a phenomenal response,” says Kirby, crediting the can’s simple design and product promotion for the drink’s early success among consumers from high school kids to 30-year-olds.
The company isn’t hiding from mixing Cocaine with alcohol. On the drink’s Web site, www.DrinkCocaine.com, it posts a variety of alcohol and Cocaine combinations.
Kirby, who says the world is ready for a beverage named after an illegal drug, has been surprised by the lack of controversy over the name of the drink.
You spoke too soon Kirbster…
In one of Redux’s latest statements on their website, they say the following:
“Despite the fact that we find the FDA claims to be ridiculous,” Ivey continued, “we have worked hard to address their concerns. Last year, it was our slogan (we got rid of it) and this year it’s the fonts (we’ll change them). The most expedient way to deal with their issues is to change the aspects of our marketing that enable them to mischaracterize our intentions - except for the name, of course, which the First Amendment gives us the right to keep and which they will have to pry from our cold, dead hands.”
This may be the only thing Redux Inc. is right about. They definitely have a first amendment right to label the drink the way they have (Calling it Cocaine). They just have to understand that others & myself have the First Amendment right to try & convince others not to buy or drink it, & to call them the insensitive & ignorant morons we think they are for naming their drink this way in the first place. It’s that darn age old, double edged sword thing again Mr. Kirby.. My call to the public is to be an exerciser of your right to boycott socially irresponsible companies. It’s your money, & just remember, if you buy ANY of Redux Inc’s products, you’re helping to fund their promotion of this very questionable product.
Check out in this video how in typical delusional liberal fashion, Jamey Kirby claims that because other people have promoted drugs & promoted vices to children, that makes it ok that he does. What a tard..
*Update* 07/12/08
So Redux Beverages ring leader Jamey Kirby e-mails me this really funny hate mail today.. My wife & I read it & practically laughed our asses off. Mostly because he apparently thinks himself much more important than he really is. I don’t see him as anything more than Saturday morning comic relief, & a lune who needs treatment for Narcissistic personality disorder. You see, he doesn’t like me or anyone else having a to right to free speech about his product, & having an opinion about it. His Hitler like Narcissism only allows him to believe that he has a “free speech” right to “shock the world” with his distasteful “Cocaine” (piss water) brand of energy drinks, but he has complete disdain for anyone who expresses their free speech opinion about said piss water. This is common symptomatology associated with the mental disease known as “Extreme Liberalism”. Now with that said, Jamey & his cult of caffeine addicted lemmings are free to fill my mailbox with hate mail anytime they like. After all, the sheer & obviously long practiced stupidity of some of these people makes great comedy for my readers. Just don’t expect me to respond to your e-mails, because you’re just not THAT important to me.
*Update*
Soon after I posted this blog, CNN removed the more grotesque of the two photos showing the deformity up close. I hope a number of people called them on it, since they don’t have the sense to make a good decision in the first place.. They still do however have another photo up there from a distance, that nobody needed to see, unless the victim of this disease explicitly requested that. I have my doubts..
___________________________________
Nope, they couldn’t resist. They had to post a grotesque photo of a facially deformed female cancer victim for the whole world to gawk at, & deny her any dignity in life or death. Except, fortunately it only matters what God thinks of her, not people. Warning, if you click on the link below, know that her condition is very visually graphic.
CNN posted pictures of this woman that should have remained private, & did it after she was no longer alive to defend herself. It’s just another example of the moral decline of the Mainstream Media, & shows how far they are willing to go to improve their declining ratings, through tabloid reporting. When I opened up CNN.com this morning, I thought I was at the check out line in the supermarket for a second. It’s sad, & unconscionable. I hope they get a lot of letters blasting them for it. My condolences go out to the family & friends of 52-year-old Chantal Sebire of France. ~Dan Lee
Now before you read the e-mail below sent to Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, I need to warn you that it is completely vile, full of hatred, deceit, & represents the worst of the worst language capable any earth dwelling mammal, including the demon possessed Democrat. With that disclaimer in place, it is interesting to study the creature I like to call “Demoncratic Hypoctritus Maximus”. Today we study the female variety in her native environment of Hypocritamia.. Whoa wow! Hold up! Get an exorcist in here now, before her head spins off!
Whew ok, we’ve got the spit & bullet proof door closed just in time at the observation post. Just don’t look her directly in the eyes, & it’s safe to observe from this point on:

Michelle Malkin,
No matter how many white men you fuck and no matter how many white asses you kiss, you will always be “A wanna be white woman”, silly ass Bitch..
Except Bitch,” 2 asians fucking, don’t make a white”. Do you really think Mrs. Obama gives a fuck about what you think about her?
You have a lot to be thankful for Bitch, fucking a white man gave you a good life in America, a life you could never have where your fucking ancestors were born.
Just be thankful that your lack of self decency allowed you to suck the white man’s dick to get where you are in life, you fucking sell out cunt.
Look at what you job is : “MAKING STUPID RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT A WOMAN OF COLOR, WHEN YOU CLAIM YOU’RE A WOMAN OF COLOR.”
Show me the white woman named Ming Lee Malkin, but there’s tons of sell out Asian Bitches like yourself who think nothing of naming your Asian and bi-racial
children white names. Blacks have white names because of Slavery, you have white names and semen in your body because you hate yourself and your slant eyes.
You pray that your bi-racial child by a white man will come out more white than Asian.
No wonder the white man loves Asia to fill out all of his pedophile tendencies, you Bitches will move in with him and let him fuck your children just as long as he’ll give you his credit card and allow you to pretend that you’re an honorary white woman. BITCH PLEASE.
FYI HO: “Fuck you and the Bitch (your mother) that had you.”
Now how’s that for free speech, silly dumb ass HO?
________________________________________________
Well…. That concludes todays observation of Demoncratic Hypoctritus Maximus.. Please deposit all barf bags in the bio-contaminant barrel by the rear exit, & accept our sincere apologies for any brain cell loss, or spiritual trauma you may have incurred. In our study we were initially intrigued by this creature’s criticism of her target’s lack of adherence to “racial purity”, while apparently perceiving herself to be defending a person who also married into a “mixed race” family. However case history shows that most creatures in the Demoncrat genus follow this pattern of bizarre & irrational behavior, more often than not.
Though doubtful, we’re looking into the possibility that this evil possessed & unintelligent creature could have actually formed some of it’s racist ideation from reading the writings of Adolf Hitler. It is however more likely that with the distinct lack of intelligence the creature displays, the partial absorption of the materials would only be possible if someone read the materials to her.
In conclusion, We hope you’ve enjoyed this little educational outing on the habits of Demoncratic Hypoctritus Maximus, & that you will file your research findings according to your good conscience, at your nearest election polling station. Good Day, ~Dan Lee
*Update*
Further research into the playpoli variety of Demoncratic Hypoctritus Maximus, has revealed a distinct aversion to “White actresses”. At the following link, scroll about 2/3 of the way down to observe the research data. This is a very interesting, however not in the least bit surprising conclusion.
In a discussion about who is more attractive, actress Aishwarya Rai or Halle Berry, playpoli@yahoo.com responds with this; “Both are beautiful, and both look better than any white actress in the film and tv industry.” 11/24/2007 12:37

Normally I wouldn’t copy almost an entire article from a peer’s website, but this behavior from this extreme leftist liberal hate monger is so disgusting, I wanted to make sure everyone possible could see what kind of extreme leftist followers the moveon.borg has helped produce over the last few years.
The following is a piece of hate mail that was recently sent to Michelle Malkin, in which the moonbat writer indicates that he dreams about her “dying of anorexia or choking to death on her own purging.”
Now besides the fact that wishing this on another human being is at best barbaric & evil in of itself, I happen to have a close relative who suffers from Bulimia, & Anorexia, as well as a host of other psychological problems that are anything but mockable. It is for that reason that this letter to Michelle Malkin so deeply offends me, that I’m now feeling the need to show the world just how much of a low life hypocrite Joe Roppe has become.
Please do look him up on the web, & no matter what political beliefs you have, I hope you’ll write him & his editors to tell them what you think of using the horrible misfortune of others (mocking the most deadly mental disorder of all time) as a weapon against anyone who dares to engage in free speech he doesn’t agree with.
People like Joe Roppe should be reprimanded for their horrific hypocrisy & insensitivity to even those who are ill in society, who have nothing to do with their quarrel. Joe Roppe apparently has no regard for the plight of innocents who’s lives have been altered or destroyed by these horrible disorders, so he discusses it with complete carelessness & ignorance at the emotional expense of those who have suffered it. Congratulations Mr. Joe Roppe, you win the Insensitive Moron of the Year Award, for sending out hate mail that mocks the suffering of others, just to get your own sadistic & vindictive little rocks off. You owe Mrs. Malkin & the rest of society an apology. ~ Dan Lee (His Venomous hatred can be read below.)

Michelle Malkin,
I bet we could make your cry for real. Force you to eat a hamburger.
I often wonder what will happen when we progressive liberal adults take back our country.
The adults will stop wars for oil,
Everyone will have health care.
Everyone will have a roof over their heads.
Everyone will have a voice in our government.
Everyone will pay equal taxes.
The Republican Party will be a quaint memory to tell our children about.
The best part is someday you will die of anorexia or choke to death on your own purging. That’s my dream.
Thank you,
Joe Roppe

Michelle Malkin Comments:
For those who know me, the trouble isn’t getting me to start eating hamburgers. The trouble is getting me to stop.
So, here’s the truly funny part. Joe Roppe of Stevens Point, WI is also the author of a letter published in the Stevens Point, WI Journal on December 31, 2007 decrying “cyberbullying” and lecturing about the need for “fostering an adult discussion” without personal attacks:
Cyberbullying is a tactic some people use to anonymously attack those they disagree with using the Internet through email or on message boards. It can include threats on a person’s life, sexual remarks, pejorative labels such as hate speech all of which are intended to harm others.
Since the Internet gives people a semblance of anonymity, they can act more aggressively than they would face-to-face. You should not reply to threatening emails or negative postings on a website. Even if you do, this is not justification for an unstable person to fly into a rage and step over the line.
Some of the posts on the Stevens Point Journal message board are patently offensive and come dangerously close to crossing the fine line between expressing their freedom of speech and committing libel. I can assure you that the posts following the publication of this letter will be designed to attack me personally instead of fostering an adult discussion of the very real issue of cyberbullying. Once you read the posts, the very nature of the nasty remarks will illustrate my point.
According to the National Cyber Alert System, you can protect yourself from cyberbullies. Be careful where you post personal information; avoid escalating a situation, document offensive remarks, and report harassing or threatening posts to the proper authorities. The Stevens Point Police Department and the FBI are good places to start.
A recent article in the SPJ demonstrates how cyberbullying can be taken to the extreme. Allegedly, a local resident is reported to have stepped over the line when a webpage on MySpace was used to request someone to shoot Mayor Andrew Halverson, and the home address of Portage County Social Worker, Danita Docka was posted including requests to kill or injure her and her child. This behavior exemplifies the need to stop cyberbullying. We can do this with laws we already have on the books.

Yeah, see, the proper way to engage in hate speech and wish for their deaths is to sign your name like Joe Roppe did.
