Truly they are Pepsi-challenged

MEMRI finds this little gem on Iranian television:

The Zionists are the largest shareholders in the world's drink manufacturers. They make hundreds of thousands of billions of dollars from this annually. This way, they export their colonialist schemes with this product, at no additional cost.

Take, for example, the Pepsi drink. Do you know what Pepsi stands for? 'Pay Each Penny Save Israel.'

And these people want nuclear power? They shouldn't even have Mountain Dew.

Inasmuch as the first bottles of Pepsi-Cola bearing that name were sold in 1898, fifty years before the founding of Israel, I think we can safely say that this claim is, um, a load of previously-digested high-fructose corn syrup.

I anxiously await the cartoon caricature of der Prophet with the word PEPSI woven in his turban ...

Sounds similar to the Christian Fundies who claim musical group names are linked to "The Dark Side". Eg, RUSH = Rule Under Satan's Hand; KISS = Knights In Satan's Service; AC/DC = Anti-Christ Devil's Child. I guess they still have too much time on their hands even after all their mental masturbation.

hmmm... Do you think if I cut the bottom out of the pepsi can and drink it backwards I could get some kind of message?

Sounds similar to the Christian Fundies...

I agree, it's comical.

Or it would be, if the non-Christian Fundies weren't flying jetliners into skyscrapers.

hundreds of thousands of billions isn't nearly jihaddy enough of a way of saying hundreds of trillions. Personally, I would have went with hundreds of millions of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

My my my, the things you learn here in the blogosphere! I wonder what Mountain Dew stands for.

Well, well, well - and I don't buy/drink Pepsi on general principle - the monkeys kept boycotting Israel up to the late eighties - of course, under pressure from the usual suspects.

Go figure...
