Not to hijack the thread, (I voted!), but Pepsi is actually one of Do Something's big corporate sponsors.
They didn't steal the idea - tons of corporations do it. What's wrong w/ a corporation tossing some money to great ideas that benefit the community? Coke does the same thing, but I don't think they advertised it as much. Besides, Do Something is geared towards teens. The Pepsi/Coke/Insert Other Corporations Here programs are open to ideas by all ages... and they typically award cash prizes to fund the ideas in amounts greater than $250-$500 (DoSomething's amount)
