Gonna be like that Harrier jet ad Pepsi won a lawsuit over. And holy shit, the comments on that video are insane. Those !r-slurs actually think Pepsi should've had to give that idiot a jet. They're accusing PepsiCo of paying off the judge. :marseybang:

It's all over Reddit too. Dozens of threads about this shit, and they all think that idiot should've won the lawsuit because a Netflix docuseries said so. :marseybangfast:

Frick it, bring back literacy tests. But this time, no grandfather clause. If you can't identify a gag that obvious or a scam this obvious, you shouldn't be voting. Just get in the mines and do manual labor 'til you die. :marseystalin:

Maybe scams shouldn't be legally allowed in ads?

Scams aren't. Jokes are. Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knew PepsiCo wasn't going to somehow sell a private citizen a fully functioning Harrier jet. You might as well sue Kraft Heinz because a giant, talking pitcher doesn't break down your door when you shout, "Hey, Kool-Aid!" :marseykoolaid:

I think if someone follows up on your gag because you didn't stack the numbers enough, you deserve to be taken to the cleaners.

John Leonard's "follow-up" was mailing PepsiCo a check for money he didn't even have and saying, "Okay, give me a jet now." They didn't list the jet in the redemption catalog for the loyalty program, they didn't cash the check he mailed them, the only thing they did was make a joke about some kid getting a Harrier jet in a TV spot and tell this loser that the ad was obviously intended to be humorous. :marseypepsi:

And so Leonard, a 21-year-old business student whose business law professor was clearly asleep on the job, somehow got it into his head that he could net a settlement over this. Not get a jet. He knew he could never get a jet. He just thought they'd pay him to shut up and go away. But PepsiCo weren't nearly as stupid as him, so they instead moved for summary judgment and won. And Leonard, absolute fricking genius that he was, appealed the decision. Which also didn't go his way. Quelle surprise. :marseyunamused:

And over 20 years later, he's still trying to grift off of this stupid shit he did in college. But the only thing he's ever actually accomplished in his life was making it so companies now slap a million disclaimers on ads, no matter how obviously absurd, just to head dipshits like Leonard off at the pass. :marseysaulgoodman:

Actually going to agree with you on something for once, surprisingly. All anybody at corporate had to do was a five second math calculation to catch that frickup before it aired, but they didn't. Pay the kid, r-slurs.

They should have been forced to get him a jet ride at least.

Pepsi absolutely should have had to honor their promise, because giving a kid a jet would be hilarious.

I'd have been fine with them saying "you didn't earn the points properly, if you want a jet drink up" but they didn't do that they went for the least dramatic and worst argument of "we're just peepeeheads"

Based.

On one hand, corpos should have to cash the checks they write with their mouths.

On the other, r-slurred marketing contest for r-slurs - the government wouldn't let you keep it even if Pepsi got one and gave it to you.
