Yes, That’s Extremely Tasteful, Thank You

Before You Score

PepsiCo released a new iPhone app recently (a video is embedded below), and it’s chock full of tasteful ideas.  Essentially, the app aims to assist men “score” with women of 24 different types.  For example, if a young man meets a “book worm”, the app suggests strategies that he could use when approaching her.  The app also suggests restaurants, brush-ups on what to talk about, etc.  In case you were wondering, yeah, some people found it a little offensive.

Pepsi has apologized, claiming that the app was actually an over-the-top attempt at humor.  Probably true, but so poorly executed that it was bound to cause a stir.  I wonder who, in their marketing department, approved this idea.
