Okay so Pepsi ditches luda under pressure from bill o'racist & then they pick up ozzy so Russell Simmons tries to shake some money out of them for the luda foundation to get them to own up to their double standard, starts his own cola co. and pushes for a pepsi boycott.

Pepsi initially gives, then under right-wing pressure doesn't.

What's yr. take? Who deserves what in this death-duel? Or is it more of a sideshow?

but noway does pepsi touch ozzy in 83, nevermind 73, plus stock Churchill quote about whores, buildings, politicians becoming respectable with age. if pepsi drops ludacris from an ad campaign in thirty years, and his appearance in it has more to do with him being a comical tv figure than a rapper then maybe they'll have a point. to the public at large: ozzy = loveable goof who used to be dangerous (even san antonio's forgiven him), ludacris = who? tv trumps pop music in public conciousness infiltration easy. whining about losing an endorsement deal = dud also.
