Reminds me of that Pepsi-stunt some 10 years back: they promised a Concorde - painted in the Pepsi-colours and used in some of their commercials - to anyone who'd bring them 200 million Pepsi-bottle-caps, obviously believing that nobody could pull that off. Too bad for them, but someone actually came up with 200 million caps... What followed was a court-fight pur sang. They had to pay the guy a couple of billion dollars - the Concorde didn't even exist, but was just a scale-model...
Negative: i dont think it was a concorde, atleast not when i saw it.... i think it was a Fighter Jet from the Air Force, and as you know it is illegal to privately own one of those.....
But yeah that was funny i never thought someone could collect that much, but he bprobably went around recyceling bins picking **** up.
If i remember correctly it was a Harrier Jet.
gstudios> It was a Harrier from one of Pepsi's "Pepsi Stuff" promotions.
O.K. , So who else (other than myself) would rather open a hole and not tell any one ??
"if they close it, you'd have to do the same sh*t and then some to get back in"
It doesn't make sense to find a breach then tell them so it can be fixed ......
as previously stated yes it was a harier jet, and they didnt collect all the caps. they had something like 20 "pepsi points", but you could buy them for like one or two bucks or something. after doing the calculations it turned out that was an incredibly cheap harier. he got some investors and send in his points with a check and a letter stating he wanted his harier. they said no. he took them to court. the court said that 1) it was clearly a joke, and 2) for it to be legal it would have to be "de-militarised" rendering it inoprable. an account may be found hereQuote:

you, my friend, miss the point. if you give them the hole in their software they give you a car. also, this is not a cracker sight so that doesnt really mix with this croud.Quote:
