My intent isn't to boycott Pepsi! I think you read me wrong here. I'm not calling Pepsi to bitch at them at all. I'm calling them with the approach of letting them know that they're advertising with/sponsoring a corporation that is violating their contracts with customers.
Pepsi is a company with a HUGE world market. There are no small advertising venues that they "need". If they find out that one of the companies they sponsor is pissing off customers, they'll pull their sponsorship faster than you can drop a hot potato. So, I'm not calling Pepsi to say "We're boycotting you because you're sponsoring Six Apart!" I'm calling Pepsi to let them know that one of the companies they sponsor has horrible customer relations, and is USING the Pepsi logo in the violation of their customer contracts. It's an FYI to Pepsi. Pepsi doesn't care about LJ, but they do care about sponsoring companies that make them look good.
Make sense? I hope I seem like less of an idiot/villain now.
