But...Um...They DID.

Imagine Axl Rose biatching because someone didn't do something in a timely fashion. It's ironic, in the sense that I'd like to hit him with a tire iron...ic.

This is just a sleazebag lawyer being a sleazebag lawyer.
Hopefully the whole thing'll get thrown out of court.

Now thats Rock N' Roll!!

I tried to get mine. The site was pretty much farked, even on the extension day. Ohwell.

Failure to deliver? Oh sweet irony!

WTF? So can a sports team sue Las Vegas casinos for people betting on the game without the teams permission? /lawyers suck.

/outrage
/meh

I signed up for my free Dr.Pepper. I sure hope I get it.

I signed up for mine...took a while, and I did other things while waiting, but I did sign up for it.

/they had a long time to prepare for what was going to happen to their servers, they should have rented more for a month or something.

//perhaps next time some company offers something like this, they will think about what they are saying a bit more... then again this was TONS of free advertising on their part and now they have a lot of personal info on people who asked for the coupon so they can do quite a bit of target marketting, not to shabby for $1 per person

I tried several times throughout the day, to no avail.

Website was seriously farked... at least for me it was.

I'll just buy a Moxie instead

PRNewswire PLANO, Texas (NYSE:CSG)

PLANO, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ - Tired of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers pass as rock 'n roll music, Dr Pepper is encouraging (ok, begging) Axl Rose to finally release his 17-year-in-the-making belabored masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, in 2008.

In an unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl, everyone in America, except estranged GNR guitarists Slash and Buckethead, will receive a free can of Dr Pepper if the album ships some time - anytime! - in 2008. Dr Pepper supports Axl, and fully understands that sometimes you have to make it through the jungle before you get it right.

"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection - for something more than the average album. We know once it's released, people will refer to it as "Dr Pepper for the ears" because it will be such a refreshing blend of rich, bold sounds - an instant classic."

That whole diatrobe above never said "only for one day if you can log on to crappy server". OR you even had to buy the album.

They only announced that it would be a one day log period, after Geffen released the date for C.D.

All im going to say on this matter is , IF MY FARKING TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING TO BAIL OUT HUGE CORPORATIONS .. I WANT MY FARKING FREE DR PEPPER !!!!

Site was farked for me on the intended day.
Called the number 5 times over 30 minutes - busy each time.
Learned about the extension at 8pm, the deadline was 6pm that day.

their was a number? God damn you, Dr Pepper.


/doesn't drink Dr pepper, nor does he give a crap about GNR.

Don't think this is ironic....Asinine, but not ironic.

phlat: I tried to get mine. The site was pretty much farked, even on the extension day. Ohwell.

ditto. But I'm a Canadian who was trying to use a US address, so I was kind of trying to cheat anyways.
instead, mebbe I'll cheat by downloading the album (which is not actually illegal in Canada yet)

The promotion was as lousy as the album.

Of course if they'd use a web site that didn't implement FLASH...

/still got my coupon, it pays to be a niteowl and get there first...

My Dr. Pepper is coming with my Guinness Towel.

*blech* That stuff should be the freebie for the next RATT album.

I will permanently switch from Mt. Dew to Dr. Pepper if the DP lawyers answer with "Bring it, Motherfarker."

I think Axl should give a free copy of Chinese Democracy to every American who doesn't receive a free Dr. Pepper.

/I'll pass...so someone else can have my copy.

...meanwhile we keep talking talking talking talking about Dr pepper and the company is very happy$$$

You seriously wasted that much of your life to save $1.25?

HappyHarryHardOn: ...meanwhile we keep talking talking talking talking about Dr pepper and the company is very happy$$$

this assumes we buy their product.

Free advertising for one free soda, win frekin win baby.

BTW what are the sales figures for Chinese Democracy?

I know it's fark so reason doesn't always work... but Dr. Pepper used the band's logo, images, etc at various times during this campaign without their permission - then botched the promo. Legally, the band has every right to biatch. And if you read the text, the lawyer is asking that Dr. Pepper extend the promo for fans - how is that bad?

Better call the IRS, FBI, etc...

This free Dr Pepper is going to be the new Guinness bar towel isn't it...

What's the deal with the free Guinness bar towel?

How come when I read that, this cat is who I thought of?

/Thats my bread & butter you're f*cking with.
//So disappointed when I bought Season 1 on DVD, put it in just to hear that uncensored... and heard it censored.
