Hello everyone,
I haven't posted on here in a long time but I see you are all talking about the oddities with all of these Coca-Cola images and references lately and I found something very interesting.
Looks like AEG and Coca-Cola are important business partners!

The O2 Announces Major New Sponsor: Coca-Cola
AEG Europe, owners and operators of The O2, are delighted to announce that ‘Coca-Cola' has become their official pouring rights partner. The three year deal includes both The O2 arena and indigo2, The O2's more intimate 2,300 capacity music venue.
‘Coca-Cola' products being served at the venue include ‘Coke', ‘Diet Coke', ‘Coke Zero', ‘Sprite', ‘Fanta', ‘Powerade' and ‘Relentless'.
‘Coca-Cola' will develop a customer engagement programme with The O2 that will include benefits for consumers at the venue. This will focus on competitions and cross promotions with their consumer website, ‘Coke Zone'.
Paul Samuels, Executive Director of Sponsorship at AEG Europe, commented: "I'm thrilled that ‘Coca-Cola' have come on board as a founding partner at The O2. Last year The O2 arena sold 1.8 million tickets making it the world's most popular music venue, and since opening over ten million visitors have come through the doors. These figures, along with the great time people have at the venue, will offer ‘Coca-Cola' unrivalled brand awareness. We will work closely with ‘Coca-Cola' over the next year to help them achieve their customer engagement goals and to maximise all sponsorship opportunities at the venue."
Cathryn Sleight, Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, added: "The O2 has firmly put itself on the map as THE entertainment venue in the UK, if not the world. We have seen what other founding partners have achieved at The O2 and CCGB's aim is to ensure we capitalize on our sponsorship. This fantastic opportunity, from provding our wide portfolio of great-tasting drinks to offering exclusve prizes to consumers on ‘Coke Zone', opens the channel for us to maximise dialogue with O2 customers. CCGB has had a long association with AEG in the United States and we are pleased to be extending this relationship to the UK."
‘Coca-Cola' joins a prestigious list of brands that are commercial partners of The O2. These are adidas, ADT, BMW, Credit Suisse, InBev, NatWest, NEC, Nestle, O2 and Visa.
The sponsorship of the venue is effective immediately.

DTD, what are your thoughts? I have gone blank with all this Coca-Cola stuff...
Well.. initial thoughts are that its "one in the eye" to Pepsi.. i know Michael never wanted to do those endorsements back in the 80's and was forced into into it by his family.. and then the burning incident happened.
Also.. this is obvious product placement. The photo is staged which means Dr Murray is a willing participant in this... he is being paid to advertise Coca Cola.. him and his legal team and they are in it with TMZ!!!
AEG and O2 are connected to Coca Cola who had a deal to sell exclusively at the O2 arena... so that means Dr Murray is in bed with them. He is taking the money from them to do this and so are TMZ...
seems like a big conspiracy to me and doesnt make sense.. well not to a normal, moral person. Dr Murray keeps saying he is inoccent. So why would he do this? He says Michael was a friend of his and he is mourning his death.... so why make money like this on the eve of his murder trial???
Money - sell your soul to the devil for it.
TMZ say its "his lawyer, Ed Chernoff"
Thank you girl, I love how you string all of this together. I was thinking about something like that, but was afraid to post, because it isn't good news for the hoax...AEG and Coca Cola team up, Murray is like advertising for Coke, Michael has been called a demanding addict to Coca Cola and Propofol (he liked to push it in, remember?) and all of this reported by TMZ...Now they have mentioned about this judge who is tough, smart and has some knowledge on addiction...it seems all like a joke to me at times, but sometimes it seems like a murder plot and cover up. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
Anyone notice the recycling can next to CM. Just a little piece of it. More garbage.
It's like how on American Idol they put the Coke cups facing the camera.
Yes, and 7UP
This is it.
you know...for being so poor and barely able to pay attorney fees or child support, murray looks pretty well-fed and well-kept. hmmm.
also, why is murray a giant? or is his lawyer just abnormally small in stature?
this would be a good picture to place captions on. murray's lawyer "mmm this coke is so refreshing and delicious. conrad move a little to the right, tmz needs the garbage can in the background." murray-"oh damn. michael told you to hold the coke cup a little higher. product placement!"
I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
(Repeat the last two lines, and in the background)
It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today.
(I agree, it 100% looks like a photo for a commercial...)
Someone made a good point that it is likely each time he gets his photo taken, he gets paid for it from the paps. If he's as desperate for money as he says he is, that very well may be true. It's pretty sick, if that's true.
Agree 100%!
Yep. Agreed, 1000%.
I can say is Bravo! SeeingClues, God bless you for this excellent information about AEG and the Coke Connection. God bless you, DancingtheDream, for bringing your excellent ability of stringing clues together for me. I appreciate your help! Thank you so much. God bless all for your dedication and your love to MJ! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Now this is something I believe. Not much is believable from KF, but I do not think Michael was addicted to caffeine.
