I don't think Pepsi will dig into fandom stuff. They'll look at the Paid User contracts, and see that LJ is violating those contracts with the Pepsi logo, and they'll pull the ad. I've dealt with corporations enough to know that much.
The only thing that Pepsi can/will do is to pull their sponsorship from LJ, which is exactly what we want. Even if they decide that the customer base is "wierd", that will only drive them away more. And Pepsi isn't "law enforcement". They're not looking for "bad guys". They're only looking out for their bottom line. So, don't worry - I promise, this is the one thing we can do that WON'T backfire on fandom. Think about it.
