Dr Pepper bitchslapped

[falungong69]

maybe if the fans all unite for a boycott of dr. pepper, we can cost them so much money that they'll have to apologize to axl.

[ppbebe]

yes they lost the confidence.

A statement from Dr Pepper reads, "We are disappointed that GN'R's lawyers are turning a fun giveaway into a legal dispute. We simply commented on the delayed release of Chinese Democracy and openly encouraged the band to release it before the end of the year. Axl (Rose, frontman) even expressed support for our efforts earlier in the year. This was one of the largest responses we have ever received for a giveaway, and we're happy we were able to satisfy the thirst of so many Dr Pepper fans. We wish Guns N' Roses the best with their album."

Yeah, that sounds right. But at the same time, you used the giveaway to promote your drink at Guns' expense, and you almost completely failed to deliver on the deal.

But I do love Dr. Pepper...

Setting up a server for that kind of event is VERY hard.

The company behind it doesn't want it to overload, but they don't really want to charge Dr. Pepper for excessive bandwidth amount, which probably isn't cheap.

They probably just got surprised by the amount of traffic they got, but I do still think they should apologize.

A lot of people simply can't pass up something because it's free.  I know several people who openly admit to not even liking Dr. Pepper but still tried to hop on the site and claim the free soda.

[Genesis]

They should have just extended the date to the end of the year.

[Albert S Miller]

Well I have never been a fan of Dr Pepper, I am certain that now I know why, is it a big deal to me, not really, but I do believe they should be held accountable for leading a promotion they had really no intent of following through with, GNR did not give them the right to use the band or its upcoming release to promote publicity for themselves, as if the world doesn't already no DR PEPPER exists, I say shame on them.  In the end, it is sad as it was a part of the GNR promotion, and we the American fans looked forward to this with our release of Chinese Democracy, they took away our Bonus, and worse than that, they broke a promise to alot of Americans, who at this time in our lives are glad to get anything at all for free, I say Axl and Dr Pepper should "Get in the ring"

Of course they will!

Besides, for GN'R fans, the soda is somewhat special....

It's the one that proves that Axl made it and Dr Pepper had to live up to their promise.

hey jarmo, what's happening with the lawsuit?  had dr. pepper caved in yet?  i haven't heard an update.

[jarmo]

It's not a lawsuit. It was an open letter!

[cineater]

Okay, lets just settle this. 

Dr. Pepper agrees to sponsor the GNR tour in the states and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the music. 

(No, not for free.)

They knew exactly how much trafic they were going 2 get and that was the point they put up the shity server so no 1 could get through the forum part and get there free Dr. Pepper
