Pepsi To Cease Advertising - by The Onion

Just another little something to lighten the mood since I really enjoyed the article linked above.

Pepsi just announced that they're totally stopping all advertising efforts from this point forward. They'll be using the budget for charities, etc. instead. From now on, they'll only rely on word-of-mouth. This shows genuine confidence in their product. Pretty cool. Will be even cooler to watch how things will turn out between them and Coke in terms of market share.

I personally have no real preference between Coke and Pepsi.

This probably only applies to Pepsi US though.

Hahaha, The Onion articles are the best.

My favorite is still the "human head found in hamburger" one.

I also like the Kanye dig in the second pic.

I'm confused if you know this is a joke or not. Great job, that's really hard to pull off hahaha

I just assumed he didn't realize it was a joke and tried to be discreet in pointing out that it was!

Hahah wasn't aware of the nature of the onion (then again, with a name like that...). I just quickly linked after skimming through digg.com. Nix fail then.

The Daily Manab Zamin, a Bangladeshi newspaper, was forced to print an apology Thursday after running an article that said astronaut Neil Armstrong had admitted his 1969 moon landing was part of an elaborate hoax.
