Remember when Dr Pepper promised a free soda to everyone in America if Guns N’ Roses releases Chinese Democracy this year? They’re following through. This means my friend Jeff’s prediction is hilarious but wrong:
Ah, but you forget – Axl Rose is the kind of asshole who would wait to release the album – even if it’s ready – until January 1, 2009 just to prevent people from getting their Dr. Peppers.
I’m more excited about the soda than the album.

Free Dr. Pepper? w00t!
Oh, and I guess it’s good to hear that Axl Rose is still alive.
I’ll believe it when you drink it. And post a picture of you doing so.
