Just for a moment replace the two standing with Cops, and the one laying down with lets say Rodney King. I am sure that a lot of people can "relate" to that. But only you would still think that it is "funny." Your thinking is what makes GDIs like the two responsible for the ad creation think that it is ok to depict beating, yes beating on paddleing OK. Just because the instrument of the beating is only a paddle then I guess it is ok. BULL. I seriously hope that you contact your organization's headquarters and look into alternatives for hazing to build a sense of brotherhood. Beating pledges is not funny and not to me condoned. I hope that you open your eyes to this.
Sincerley,

To Whom It May Concern:
The Snapple ad was funny. I also thought Animal House was funny. To take either of them at more than face value, would be to bog yourself down in ironic semantics.
Also, never again reference my fraternity in any condescending form or fashion, especially hazing, to me or anyone else. Making any such relationship is absurd and risks placing my fraternity in a bad light, nationally and with our own IFC. GDI is not an appropriate term for those persons unaffiliated with Greek Letter Organizations. And no one I know, appreciates the allusion to the Rodney King "incident." To compare the two, is to degrade the former.
It would be time better spent, if all this damned effort was put forth towards something worthwhile to the rest of the world - not a gosh dang Snapple ad.
I genuinely hope you choose your words more carefully, in the future. Words can be powerul tools to piss people off.
With All Sincerety,
