So here we go again. Someone claiming a big brand stole their idea for a commercial. Occasionally, this stuff has merit. Occasionally, it’s just sour grapes. In this particular case, we’re going with sour grapes. After all, it’s not like showing a collage of images is a patented idea or anything. Although we will admit the Pepsi commercial is quite derivative of the original video.

Bryan Chang, who submitted both videos, wrote, “When ad agencies rip off work, is there an obligation to inform the client where the ideas are coming from? I imagine so.”

What do you think?

Psychology says the reason reverse age gap relationships are rising isn’t about older people chasing youth — it’s because younger people are increasingly attracted to emotional availability over earning potential, and that shift is rewriting the entire power structure of modern dating

I’m 66 and the person who shaped me most wasn’t my father or my mother, it was a history teacher named Mr. Collins who looked at me in 1976 and said “you’re capable of more than this”—and those six words rerouted my entire life because nobody at home had ever suggested that the direction I was heading wasn’t the only direction available, and I’ve built a career, a family, and a sense of self on a sentence spoken by a man I haven’t seen in 40 years
