Cheap irony

I've mentioned that this company has TV news playing all the time in the lunchrooms and reception areas.

This afternoon, I was thus exposed to CNN covering a Major League Baseball announcement about restricting the use of "performance enhancing substances." I was in the pantry waiting for the microwave to finish boiling water for my cup of tea. Next to me was a six-foot-tall machine with a large, friendly picture of a bottle of Pepsi.
