    We at Pepsi thought this would make us money. We are sorry that it won't make us money. Please accept our apology so that we can make money. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    I wonder what made them finally pull the app? They completely failed at making a delayed apology and repeatedly stood by the application despite the criticism.

    Sigh. This makes quitting my diet soda habit so much easier. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    More reasons to do a little creative googling of potential dates, kids. I'd want to know if my Friday night was keeping score on the tubes, via this or any other means.

    Did you all hear the blurb on NPR about this this morning? Steve Inskeep was all, "Pepsi's app, 'Amp Up Before You Score", which provided pickup lines for various stereotypical women such as the "foreign exchange student" and the "nerd" has been pulled. The app was targeted at the stereotypical customer, presumably the 'idiot'." I was all like oh damn Steve Inskeep! Can we be friends? #ampupbeforeyouscore

    The app should also explain that drinking a ton of Pepsi and then hooking up is generally a bad idea, as it could lead to a coitus interruptus to urinatus type situation. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    @morninggloria: If it was a robust enough app, one could conceivably enter the expected time of scoring, and the app would have an alarm reminding the score-keeping douche to pee X amount of time beforehand.

    I really need to get out of IT. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    That poor high school guy who wrote in telling us all to "calm down." I'm sure this was a pivotal moment in his adolescence, being censored and unable to tweet about his scores like this... damn guys. #ampupbeforeyouscore

    The meme evolved gradually from 2000 to 2008, I think, beginning coincidentally when GWB was "elected" Commander in Chief.

    Or, as my grandfather might have said: "When a fish begins to stink, it starts at the head."

    BRO TRANSLATOR, ENGAGE!

    "I totally looked at that Pepsi thing people are talking about and I have concluded that it isn't a big deal because it made me giggle so hard I pooped a little. I don't really have any male friends, but if I did I know they'd really talk like that because that's how guys are.

    On TV.

    I don't have any female friends either, actually, but you know how chicks are! It's all "Maid in Manhattan" and "The Ugly Truth" and "Sex and the City". Dudes are way less serious than that. Dudes are funny, you know? They say things that are like "OMG" but they don't really believe the stuff they say. But they're SO immature, amirite? (That's why I don't have any friends--I mean--why I'm not friends with them).

    So please, ladies, just stop filling up teh internet with all your feminism-words. I know a guy who knows a guy who works at Pepsi, and he said they are just following the market, you know? You girls should be out picketing sexual assaulters or MTV or something. Or one of those other things your kind gets all riled up about. Just leave Pepsi alone!

    *whispers*...it's the only thing I've got. "

    You could try asking women what they talk about instead of assuming we have nothing else on our minds but relationships and our "feelings". Anytime I see something like that I wonder how any human being can get to that age and not know that women talk about more things than men and our fuzzy pink feelings. Do they not have mothers? Sisters? Some female friends? Jesus.

    If no guy actually believed women were objects, the world would be really different. Plus, objectification isn't about thinking a woman is like a lamp. It's about things like gender stereotyping, sexual objectification like that we "owe" men teh sex, and telling us what to care about instead of asking us.

    But thanks for playing feminist bingo, asshat. You pretty much filled it up on your first try. #sexism

    The truth is, while women talk about relationships or their feelings or whatever women talk about amongst themselves...

    I think it's so funny that so many guys seem to think that all women talk about are our boyfriends or our feelings. If this guy ever heard what I really talk about with my girlfriends he would probably have a panic attack and then puke. #sexism

    Jesus Fucking Christ, what a fucking asshole. Probably has sex with animals. DEAD animals. This is what I tell myself so I feel better that I live on the same planet as this asswipe.

    By the way, women make dirty immature jokes too, Cockbib. And you know what? Your privilege is disgusting and you are nothing but an arrogant little boy who knows nothing of the world or women. #sexism

    hahahahaha. That article was amazing! He was like "It's not sexism if it's culturally accepted!" and I was like "that's TOTALLY how people actually think! Isn't it ridiculous?"

    Wait, that was satire right? TELL ME HE WAS BEING SATIRICAL.

    I'm going to go glower for a little while and mumble under my breath about stupid people. #sexism
