> Pepsi purposefully lied to people

How many times a day to you ‘purposefully lie’ to people when telling a joke? Do they all sue you?

Jokes are clearly labeled as such.

Lying to people for your benefit only to later defend yourself with "it was just a joke!" after they take you seriously isn't jesting; it's plain assholery.

If a Polish software developer manages to convince enough Americans then sure it does :).
