When I look in to the infinite wonder of space I don't want to see a fucking coke logo slowly going by.

This occurs in one of the red dwarf novels. After the invention of FTL travel, coke pays a astro-engineering company to trigger a series of precisely positioned supernovae to create a burning message across the sky, proclaiming: "DRINK COKE."
