Goodbye Pepsi. Hello Fail.

What makes mainstream companies think this sort of thing is a good idea?
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ah, that sounds like a most excellent nap, Andi.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Goodbye Pepsi. Hello Fail.
I'm utterly gobsmacked that a company would show such contempt for half their market. "Sex sells" is one thing, this is just mind-boggling.
I would also like to link to another page on that site, this one concerning sexy Halloween costumes. [link] I rather enjoy the notion of sexy Antarctica, but what I really want to showcase is the embedded video in one of the comments, featuring a bird of paradise performing his sexy dance (and being rewarded). I do regret to advise, however, that I think said bird is steeped in bro culture, and he may well have followed up his conquest with a tweet.

Does PepsiCo still own Taco Bell & Pizza Hut? Should the boycot extend to ALL PepsiCo products?

Honestly, love Apple though I do, I also think they're sleazy for having that app.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Does PepsiCo still own Taco Bell & Pizza Hut?
No, they're spun off into a separate company now.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I fired off an email to Pepsi Co. to register my disgust.
I wonder if we'll get a mea culpa from their PR department, and if so, how long it will take.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm utterly gobsmacked that a company would show such contempt for half their market.
I don't think women are half the energy drink market. Not that it excuses the mindset.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
When I showed bf, he mentioned that a lot of video game companies are using this type of viral marketing thing to drum up free advertising for their product.
I am offended, still, by the idea -- but I think bf might be right.
