You know, I got to give it to them. They did a great job creating this app. It is a great app. I know some women who have got a kick out of it. If Amp was smart they would be working on a male version of this that they can come out with. This way they can't get any complaints and everyone is happy. AMP, feel free to hire me on...

Even though I agree with Brian as well, you are on the money too, Bob. There are definitely girls dumb enough out there and your two points are true. But even for those girls that are smart enough to see through it, they may be looking for a one night stand as well. So it could definitely be a win win. It's all relative to the person and how bad they want to get poon.

I've just purchased my last Pepsi product. This is tasteless and a god-awful marketing ploy. "Objectifying women? There's an app for that!"

I think its hilarious. Doesn't anyone have a sense of the ridiculous anymore? This is Monty-Pythonesque humor...so ridiculous its funny! What about a sense of irony? Doesn't it seem ironic to you that a man who would be so desperate as to use this would score in any way at all?
Sorry, all...i just found it hilarious on sooooo many levels!

Hey, I'm a woman and I think this is HILARIOUS. It's clearly fulfilling it's real purpose--getting people to talk about the product, if only incidentally. If I had an iPhone, I'd probably get it for pure entertainment purposes (it's free, and somebody worked their ass off on the thing). There are plenty of worse things, real problems in the world to get offended about. Like the prevailing idea that there are only TWO kinds of women "do-able" and "undo-able". At least this app has 24. That's progress, of a sort.

Well said! It's interesting that one of Adam's comments was something along the lines of “Pepsi should have known that women would get wind that this was happening and be offended.” He doesn’t focus on the fact that men should be offended too, and that they are also confined by this type of behavior. There is also a video clip on CNN which interviews Adam and at the end he says “create one that stereotypes men too”. Like objectification is ok as long as it’s happening to both genders. The problem is that men don’t live in a society where they have to worry about consequences of this type of behavior – one where they are the overwhelming majority of domestic violence and sexual assault victims.

To any man that knows how to get a woman on his own this app should be the last thing he's worried about...but what is the harm in helping those men who don't have to confidence to approach a woman with the right things to say?...sure it's a little ridiculous to go brag about it to yours friends through the application...but all guys know...your gonna brag somehow...it's part of who we are...we feel proud of ourselves for scoring and want others to be proud of us to...and to the women up in arms about this..i think your all scared thinking...what if i get picked up by someone using this app.?...will i be as shallow as to be classified like that?...the truth is maybe....at least theres 20 classes... Men are seen as one to two types...horny jerk, or horny nice guy...lighten up a little...have fun with your life...you only get one

I agree that most of these people probably haven't actually seen the app. It's clearly a gag.

I'm a female and find this application very funny. I wrote in my blog about it - check it out http://jtdelivers.blogspot.....

But hey, the bad press is good for Pepsi anyway, right? I'm sure the app is being downloaded like crazy.

This application is cr*p. Pepsi deserve to be boycotted for using such a sad, anti-gay, anti-women, anti-any-man-with-a-brain application. Do they think its edgy? It's pathetic and any lad using it wouldn't "score" anyway.

I do not believe I said anything about eternity or Bible's. I simply feel and I am sure there are others who feel the same way that people have value and to take advantage of anyone because you can "say the right thing" simply to get in bed with someone will hurt their feeling and we can already see the implications of this frivolity in the empty lives and the worthlessness people who live in such a way by choice or by necessity feel about themselves with low self-esteem. The comment directed towards the app simply is to say we do not need to endorse an App that furthers empty relationships.

I think the problem with the app. is that it has the potential to hurt a lot of people. Posting semi-nude photos isn't harmful to anyone.

I had a friend with an iphone download this app today. The lines are hilarious. Clearly meant as a joke. We tried some of the lines on the girls at work and all they did was laugh, and want to see the app.

Im willing to bet 100% of the haters on here have never played with the app. They heard about it and judged it.

Here is an example: You click the woman labeled 'Nerd' who is depicted with Spock ears and a Star Trek shirt. One of the lines is "You must have been shot with a phaser set on stunning".

Seriously? You women are losing sleep over that? I feel sorry for you.
