In case you haven't heard, everyone's beating up on Pepsi for releasing an iPhone application called "Amp Up Before You Score," which promotes their Amp energy drink while offering advice on how to "score" with 24 types of women. That's a lot of types, bro! Are you douchey enough to "score" with each one? This video shows you how:

When you've got free Yankees tickets and you're handing them out in Times Square, it's only fair to expect a mess, right? The Daily News and Post report that Pepsi's giveaway of Yankees tickets was short-lived: The News lists mistakes like not having the "promised" opening day tickets (most were for June), not letting people meet Goose Gossage (he only waved) and changing locations, "forcing fans who had staked out spots to make a mad dash across Times Square." According to the Post, those gathered started yelling "Pepsi sucks! Pepsi sucks!" and "cracked open cans of the soft drink and poured it onto the pile of swag, sending cops racing to the scene." Pepsi said, "All we wanted to do was make fans part of the celebration, giving away free Yankee tickets and Pepsi-Cola products, but we blew it. The wrong information got out about the tickets being offered and we didn't have the right permits to distribute them. Although we eventually gave away more than 200 free tickets, some particularly passionate fans got angry with us, and we don't blame them. We're very sorry for upsetting or inconveniencing anyone."

Even Coke fans probably appreciate the old Pepsi Cola sign that's been part of the LIC skyline since 1936. It may have moved from its old spot, but (for quite some time) it's been getting rebuilt not too far away, letter by letter. Just a couple of days ago it only had the P E I and C letters in place, and now the NY Times checks in to find "the 120-foot-long scrawl, a creation of the Artkraft Strauss Sign Corporation," has just one more letter to go. One source told them the original plan was to have it back to its original splendor by March 1st, “But they’ve run into difficulties and now say they don’t have a schedule." Perhaps Madoff's old papers got in the way.
