Dr. Pepper begs Axl Rose for Chinese Democracy

Dr. Pepper is taking up the cause of every true Guns n' Roses fan by promising everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if Axl Rose will release the band's Chinese Democracy, for which fans have been waiting 17 years.

From the press release:

"It took a little patience to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, which our fans have come to know and love," said Jaxie Alt, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "So we completely understand and empathize with Axl's quest for perfection — for something more than the average album."
