Are You Offended by Coke's New Ad? (VIDEO)

Are You Offended by Coke's New Ad? (VIDEO)

Coca Cola's rendition of "America The Beautiful" is seeing some ugly reaction on Twitter.

The ad, which features the patriotic classic sung in different languages, aired during the second half of the Super Bowl Sunday.

Backlash followed with some outraged viewers taking to social media to condemn the ad's multilingual approach to the song and its depiction of Muslim Americans.

While many were offended, others praised the ad for its diversity and turned on those who condemned it. Supporters called on the ad's opponents to research how America was founded by a nation of immigrants.

Meantime, Budweiser's "Puppy Love" commercial has emerged as the clear favorite among this year's Super Bowl ads. The spot, which shows the unbreakable bond between a puppy and one of Bud's famous Clydesdale horses, topped a number of viewer surveys.

In a CBSNews.com poll the ad grabbed 65-percent of the vote -- and is the only commercial to be picked by at least ten-percent.
