Free Dr. Pepper Too Much Of A Hassle?
So Guns N Roses released Chinese Democracy today…woo-friggin-hoo! Sadly the buzz around the Internet right now isn’t about how good or bad Chinese Democracy might be, but rather people upset over trying to get their coupon for a free Dr. Pepper.
It seems Dr. Pepper wasn’t ready for the amount of traffic that would come over their servers from people trying to get their free soda coupon. It’s only available today for 24 hours and if you do get a coupon it expired on February 28th. People are complaining about spending soooo much time trying to find the link on Dr. Pepper’s site. I understand that the folks at Dr. pepper made a silly promise, but at the same time I think people should stop being stupid.
This is something you can get at most convenience stores of less than $1.39. It’s not like trying to redeem the code for a free ticket to see Judas Priest, which I had problems with and finally gave up on. about a week later someone provided me with a good link and by that time I had thrown away the redemption code.
Like I said, it’s a free soda…that costs about a buck. Quit your bitchin’ and dig under the couch cushions for some change. It would probably be quicker and you’re more likely to find the money than you are to get a coupon today. Oh, and another thing…you can get a 12 pack of them for about 3 bucks…Jesus!
On another note, I did say awhile back that I would give away a slightly used copy of Reckless Road Guns N Roses And The Making Of Appetite For Destruction. Keep an eye out for that this week.

I did the coupon thing just to see how screwed up their servers were….it took forever and the end result wasn’t worth it. By the time the coupon comes, I’ll have forgotten about it.
