These Pepsi commercials are interesting.
I don't have an opinion as to whether they're good or bad, but I think it's interesting that Pepsi's ad people think it's wise marketing to make use of a logo very much like Obama's. And slogans that clearly draw on his campaign themes. In a funny way, it's an affirmation of Obama, and where the Pepsi big wigs think this country is, and where it's going.

4. I don't like Pepsi as much as I do Coke ... but ...
I'm willing to buy it for at least a week because
of those darned ads. Absolutely inspiring (especially
if you read the full lyrics of the Pointer Sisters
song that's used).

5. I think that's exactly it.

Hey, everyone is getting on this bandwagon, or should I say train? So of course, the major marketers are going to want a piece of that action. Meantime, I have "I know we can make it... yes we can can" running in a loop in my brain - not bad, actually!
