Chinese Democracy, GNR, and Dr Pepper

Did you ever notice that Dr Pepper doesn't have the "." in Dr.? Besides this factoid, the long awaited promotion that the Dr Pepper soft drink company would give a free can of soda when Guns N' Roses would finally release their Chinese Democracy album has run into a bit of a snag. But what is funnier is that the band is up in arms about it. Obviously there are a lot of underlying issues, but it's a rather funny story of promotion gone wild. Will GNR succeed? Well, you know what they say about any publicity. See Guns N' Roses Lashes Out At Dr Pepper. Next up, rabies shots for the Easter bunny.

It's a good thing the Phillies let one get by them during the world series or else people may have been unjustly denied their delicious free taco and that would just be legally upsetting. Just like this.
