Coca-Cola has apologized after a CAPTCHA code was given to a customer trying to register for the "Coke Zone." CAPTCHA codes are randomly generated and used by sites to ensure a "bot" is not trying to register an account or post a comment.In the case of Alistair Beswick, the code offered to him was UF**CKER. Realistically, although he complained that he had to enter the code to register, he should have been able to generate a new code. That is always a possibility for any CAPTCHA code.
He said, "I understand it was randomly generated, but you'd think Coke would have some measures in place to stop four-letter words like that appearing."
A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said the company would work to ensure such automated SANFUs wouldn't happen again. A spokesman said: "We apologize for any offense caused to the individual and thank them for bringing this to our attention.
"Unfortunately this has occurred due to an automated selection of random letters but we are taking immediate action to ensure this will not happen again."

That is outrageous!! How on earth could they be allowed to get away with that?! They should go out of their way to apologise further than just issuing a simple "we're sorry - it won't happen again". I, for one will now never buy a single bottle of coke ever again.
Thank you SNAFU for highlighting this to us.
Hi there..
I would say that The site generates a random code of six characters each time a gambler gets an account, you must enter exactly go ..
I think coke had done correct by apologizing but this has occurred due to an automated selection of random letters.
Excellent website is got there,it was randomly generated, but you'd think Coke would have some measures in place to stop four-letter words like that appearing.. I didnt know much about this until i found your website on bing Regards
I do hope your comments are in humour. Just that Coke also own Sprite and many many other soft drinks. lol. The fact is, these secure codes and completely random and generated by a computer, and not by Coke themselves. Next you'll be..
I totally agree that Coke would have some measures in place to stop four-letter words like that appearing.

Your blog is worth for me,I didnt know much about this until i found your website on bing Regards...
Thats hilarious. I can't understand how anyone can be so offended ... big deal, shit happens. If I had to guess, I would say he was a christian ... possibly even one of those crazy fundamentalists.
I think this might possibly be the worst thing I have ever seen. If I recieved such an insult from a family company likke Coca-Cola, I would be reacting much more strongly than the kind sir who contacted The Sun about this. I assure you that next time I see the Coca-Cola christmas advertisement, I shall turn off my television, go to my local shop and purchase a bottle of Pepsi. I don't think I can ever trust Coca-Cola ever again.
They should go out of their way to apologise further than just issuing a simple "Sorry".
I think they have done right by apologizing.Well I also think that they have done this as to maintain their good reputation.
What's obscene is what Coca Cola has done to the American diet and the American waist line. It has turned us into a bunch of soft-drink addicted, fat, lazy slobs, while taking our money in return for something that is ruining our health.Thanks a lot for sharing
