Federal agents have arrested a Colorado man for slapping pictures of Tiger Woods and his wife on Tropical-Mango Gatorade bottles, and placing them on store shelves. Now really, who cares about Tiger Woods anymore? I’m just excited to find out that there’s a flavor of Gatorade called Tropical-Mango. Usually I just drink the blue one, so this is awesome.
Apparently the guy, Jason Eric Kay, 38, told agents that he considered his altered sports drink bottles, which he called Unfaithful, to be akin to Andy Warhol art. They on the other hand, consider his art to be more akin of several felonies. Like misbranding and altering food products. Damn. I guess I can toss out all those Jay Leno labels I was going to put on Pampers.
While the FDA and PepsiCo were investigating who was doing this heinous act, Kay actually had the balls to send them a letter, offering to go on tour to place his altered products in different cities, but only if Pepsi would pay for his travel. I guess you can’t feel too sorry for the guy then, considering he was dumb enough to offer such a request without asking for a meal allowance.
Kay now risks a sentence of up to three years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for placing 67 labeled Tropical-Mango Gatorade bottles on store shelves. While I think that’s a little much, I do think Kay deserves some kind of punishment. Maybe they should just force him to watch 67 hours of Sarah Palin on FOX.
Powerade, take note: this is why Gatorade rules.

I'd love to see these on the shelves with mini Chewbacca sitting next to them.
