I thought it was leaps and bounds better than the Rob Lowe/Snow White number… ---

I found it nearly impossible to make out any actual words from her song, but I thought it was kinda be-boppy and fun. Should I duck now? BTW, I’m older than 14. AND female. Go figger. \*\* And you’re not living up to your name! Shame, shame! **Cranky** , indeed! [haughty look] ---

**Arcegetrix** : > [@](#): > > But didn’t we almost make this guy this most powerful man in the world? No, we didn’t. Not by a long shot. I watched and liked the ad, and I’m big enough to admit it was entirely because she’s a nubile teenager. I don’t like her voice; I don’t know why she sings in that weird electronified Stevie Nicks vibrato, or why anyone enjoys it. But I suspect little of Britney’s popularity is based on her singing. ---

I know it is a minor thing, but what really irritated me was the Pepsi logo dangling from her silly little navel. There is Pepsi body jewelry?! Why doesn’t she just tattoo the damn logo on her forehead? ---

Actually, Doles’ election was kinda close, and he is a very intelligent man. I met him once when I was a graphic artist for a political sign company. I offered my right hand and looked at him. \ \… It was at that moment that I remembered that he was a WWII hero, that charged a machine gun nest alone, and took it out with hand grenades or some such. He suffered damage to his right arm. I then withdrew my right, and offered my left, which he smilingly shook, and asked my name… I haven’t since forgotten his kindness, intelligent conversation or dedication to his cause. O ---

Spears is really a Disney Robot! I mean, really, can those be real? I think not! And also, I hate pepsi so much! The whole company is just an evil empire (bigger than the U.S. Govt, really!) A few years ago some govt inspector went onto one of the Pepsi plants and started writing them up for everything. Pepsi told the govt. to get their inspectors to get off their plant, and the inspectors were withdrawn in less than an hour. Now the damn company doesn’t have any govt inspectors @ all! Oh, and on the idea that Spears is really a robot, if they ever come onto the market, I’ll buy one, but only if it has a mute button. ---

Just FYI: Coke has a contract with Christina Agulera (sp?). That’s right, they’re gonna be duelling in the soft drink world, too. God save us all. ---

Great, I love Coke(the drink), I hate Pepsi, Britney and Christina. Now what am I supposed to drink… Hey tap water hasn’t been commercialized yet, has it? 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/britneys-pepsi-ad/59504.md?page=1)
