The Dean Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I won't make a judgment until I hear the album, but I'm guessing the Dr. Pepper is the only thing associated with the release of this album, that won't suck.
Cugalabanza Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Thank you Jesus for bringing to us, in these times of economic hardship and spiritual decay, this magnificent gift of terrible over-produced garbage and some free sugary liquid feces to wash it down with.
HopsGuy Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 Thank you Jesus for bringing to us, in these times of economic hardship and spiritual decay, this magnificent gift of terrible over-produced garbage and some free sugary liquid feces to wash it down with. I don't really have strong opinion on Dr. Pepper, but your post reminded me of from the Simpsons. [substitute Dr. Pepper for Mountain Dew.] BTW, I have no idea why the Geico caveman is there.
Tux of Borg Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 According to Billboard.biz, GUNS N' ROSES' new single, "Chinese Democracy", has made a splashy bow across a bevy of Billboard's and Radio and Records' rock airplay charts — after only five days of airplay. It debuts at No. 12 on Mainstream Rock, No. 15 on Active Rock, No. 37 on Modern Rock and No. 7 on Rock. On Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, which began in 1981, it's the band's best debut since 1991 when "Don't Cry" opened at No. 4.

BillsWatch Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Thanks for free soda. Do not care about album but Dr Pepper is only soda I drink regularly anymore.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Can anyone access the coupon page?... They said 12:01 Sunday... I am assuming EST? The page is just chugging along blank for me now? Nice tactic DrP...

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Link? www.DrPepper.com Actually: FreeDrPepper
The Dean Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 www.DrPepper.com Actually: FreeDrPepper Can't access drpepper.com, but did access the other link, but not with FF. Got through using Google Chrome. There is a registration form with the a countdown clock. To clarify the front page of drpepper.com says "loading" but does nothing. Edit #2. Both links seem to work now
Steely Dan Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Constant timeouts now, can not log in. Same here. Is this on purpose?
BillsWatch Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Same here. Is this on purpose? Does SDS purposely design things so server crashes when Jay Rosen is in charge during peak time? Doubt it about Dr Pepper unless you mean purposely not spending money to handle abnormal peak loads. Like any website which gets more hits than it is scaled for it is going have issues but you so rarely get that many visitors that it makes no sense to spend all that money on hardware and infrastructure.
Just Jack Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 Finally got in to submit my info, now waiting for the submission to go through.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 I was able to get in believe it or not just before midnight last night CST... 4-6 weeks for the coupon to arrive... You have to 2-28-09 to redeem... WTF? What a bunch of fockers! Now... How do I get one for my wife and children... They did say every AMERICAN... Will it kick me out if I use the same address as mine?
