Je ne suis pas un Pepper

(I find myself stumped over the proper gender pronoun for that headline. Is it "une pepper" because I am a girl, or "un pepper" because Dr Pepper is male?)

I clicked a link because of the headline: Dr Pepper extends Chinese Democracy free drink offer. (now that's how you promote democracy!) 

It was disappointing that the article was mainly about servers crashing from high demands (not how you promote democracy!) and generally what has to have been a very boring press release. 

Except then there's the end: According to a Dr Pepper press release, ex Guns n Roses guitarists Slash and Buckethead “are not eligible for free soda.” (withholding free beverages from non-affiliated rockstars: promoting total anarchy, dude!)

I suggest baking this cake with your free beverage, and sending it to poor deprived Slash and/or Buckethead. Or me. I promise to use it in further promotion of democracy and/or misinterpretation of headlines.

I believe it is 'un'....that is if I can remember anything from 7 years of French!
