Pepsi's Pick-up Problem

Here is blogger Patrick Baldwin

Need to pick up a chick? There's an app for that. At least for now.

Pepsi is facing growing criticism for an iPhone application that promises to help men "score" with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests.

It was all part of a promotion for its Amp Energy Drink.

The free app is still up.

By the way, some of the stereotypes include "foreign exchange student,nerd or cougar."

You then get possible pickup lines like, "Wasn't I in Space Academy with you?" for the nerd.
