A new I-phone application is causing a stir. Pepsi-Co, in an effort to market their Amp energy drink, has put out an I-Phone app to attract the attention of boys and men. The marketing tag line reads “Amp Up Before You Score”, suggesting that men energize themselves with the new drink before they take on their next sexual conquest. The new app divides women into 24 different categories, giving men assistance on how to seduce each type. The categories range from the Tree-Hugger and a Punk Rock Girl to a Sorority Girl and a Cougar, with many more to choose from.

Deluged with criticism from across the Internet, PepsiCo today announced that it was pulling a controversial iPhone application from Apple's App store one that claimed to help men "score" with women.

Quote:

-- In a statement, the company said removing the application was the "most appropriate course of action" after listening to "a variety of audiences," The Associated Press reported.
The app, called AMP Up Before You Score, was launched to help the company promote its new AMP Energy drink.
The application's description said it was a "roadmap to success with your favorite kinds of women" that will "change your game and raise your expectations."
The app divided women into 24 categories, from artists and aspiring actresses to bookworms and businesswomen.

Looked pretty silly which I gather was the intent. Yeah, I can see this setting women's rights back about 400 years (riiiiiight). Nobody complained about the Trojan condom advertisements: [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. .

In other news, all forms of "fun" are outlawed and punishable by death.
