I think his point is that saying Pepsi and Coke are the same is the same as what you are saying.

LOL...



that's was funny...

What i ment by this... coke and pepsi are the same company (theory, comperosy...whatever you enjoy most)

They play both play off each other... it's strange the both companies can directly show each others labels in there own adds....and directly try and prove they can take the crown for being the best.....

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY other companies that are in competition with each other that have adds with the EXACT logo's and whatnot that there competitions have.... and diss them... without a lawsuit of some sorts.... or some kind of uproar......
