"Energy drinks are meant to be edgy and cool, and drunk by young men. So PepsiCo Inc. decided to release an Apple iPhone application for its Amp Energy drink to appeal to guys out on the prowl. Now the snack and beverage giant is facing a storm of criticism for "Amp Up Before You Score." The app, released last Friday, purports to help men pick up any one of 24 types of women, such as the "sorority girl," "cougar," "rebound girl" or "punk rock girl." Users can choose the type of woman they have their eye on, then get coached on facts that might be useful, such as computing a carbon footprint to impress "the treehugger."
Suggested pick-up lines can be risqué. To pick up "the artist," the app recommends the following line: "You know the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. I wonder what else she shaves (FoxNews)."
You know what pisses me off about this story? If this was for a woman and it was how to hit on some rich guy there would be no problem, but since it is for guys there has to be a hissy fit thrown. It is a big fucking joke women, chill out.
Oh by the way, "You know the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows. I wonder what else she shaves" is a great line.
