The soft-drink slinger had arranged to bestow online coupons to any thirsty seeker who visited its website on Nov. 23, but the site crashed due to well, high traffic brought on by people’s insatiable desire for free stuff. The promotion was extended for another day, but the site was unreachable for most of it, per Rose. And despite what surely is Rose’s sympathy for those who have trouble meeting customer demand, his lawyer is calling the attention getting ploy an “unmitigated disaster which defrauded customers. Axl Rose wants full page apologies in the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Guns N’ Roses would like some money now, too.   Dr Pepper  says: “For us, this was a fun giveaway that has always been about the fans, and we’ve taken great steps to fulfill it, including:

•  extending the window for the giveaway from 24 to 42 hours   

• Adding a toll-free line to handle consumer requests for the coupons  

• Setting up an interactive voice recorder to accept coupon requests This was one of the largest responses we have ever received for a giveaway, and we’re happy we were able to satisfy the thirst of so many Dr Pepper fans.”

Was on the site sunday about 130am was able to fill out info for vocher. Anybody else was able to get through or not? How is Chinese Democracy sales doing? Will it get the #1 spot?

Petra Group said Willis invested $2 million last year in its subsidiary, Green Rubber, a developer of technology that can recycle rubber in old tires. Wow Willis going green, what about all the gas he burns up in his movies crashing cars blowing up buildings? Petra finally gave up the $900,000 owed to Bruce Willis after the actor filed a lawsuit demanding a refund of his investment. Willis was given 1.1 million back, but was suing for the rest and interest and is still a stockholder.
