Coca cola to sponsor BBC music charts

Coca Cola are sponsoring BBC music charts on Radio 1 and Top Of the Pops. This from a so called non-commercial TV/Radio station that is supposedly funded by our TV license. Not only that, but Cola's reputation on human rights leaves something to be desired.

"Oops, ok, the BBC aren't being sponsored directly..."

They're still benefitting from the sponsorship, and promoting the Coca-Killas.
