Pepsi apologises for 'sexist' iPhone app
textually.org — The Guardian reports that Pepsi has apologised for releasing an iPhone app that encouraged men to brag about their sexual conquests.

Pepsi apologizes for sexist iPhone app, inadvertently fans the flames
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) — Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Software, Odds and ends, Freeware, iPhone, App Store, iPod touchPepsiCo's Amp Energy brand stirred up a lot of hatred in the last couple of months when the "AMP UP Before You Score" app [iTunes Link] was released.

A public apology was made by Amp on its Twitter feed ...

It's a bit of fun if not a little classless (and Pepsi & AMP have since apologized). With that in mind, we've compiled 5 apps for the scoundrel. Fake Call apps This one is more of a trick than a particular app. ...

Q&F: Amp Up Before Your Score
iPhone App Reviews — This is the app that, over the past week, has been written about over and over and over again… and now Pepsi is apologizing for it. Apologizing is definitely the right move from a PR standpoint, but I’m just gonna come out and say what everyone else is apparently afraid to… AMP UP BEFORE YOUR SCORE IS FUNNY! Sorry ladies, I know it probably pisses off some of you, but for the rest who can see this app for the joke that it’s clearly intended to be, it’s pretty hilarious. AMP UP Before Your Score is a very tongue-in-cheek guide to “scoring” with 24 different types of women ...
