Wow, Greenday used to be against iTunes. Greenday used to be totally against co-operating for TV ads.
Now they've actually made a track specifically for this ad. Apple/Pepsi must be doing something right.

I fought the law .. and the law won?
And.. I can now download stuff for free, but after I've purchased a sugared water. That's a new definition of free.

Well.. I'm sure the ad will get people's attention, and that's what it's made to do.

Yeah, Their offering a band that hasn't made much money lately a whole lot of money. They would’ve been stupid and starved if they hadn’t!

I believe that is what they call a "win-win" situation. I think this Pepsi/Apple thing is going to be HUGE.

How long before the first newspaper article with some whiny knucklehead suing Apple and Pepsi after getting scammed with phony iTunes code numbers on eBay?

This could be the biggest law & order media campaign since "Just say no." Nancy Reagan, we thank you for inspiring us.
