Honestly, why wouldn't they? Money, publicity and free merchandise. There's no downside, other that a few whiney fans *cough*Nikki*cough*. :P

Seriously, I don't even like Pepsi, but I'd still do endorsements if they'd pay me.

eh.....they might as well go for it. If they supposedly have this "three year plan" to conquer the world w/ overseas tours, why not do some promos

I say....go for it, good for um.

Okay first off I'm sure every band/your is sponsored by someone or something, Pepsi is just another one of those sponsors. Would you rather they were sponsored by Faygo Root Beer? would that make it better? I mean in that case they wouldn't be able to travel as far since they wouldn't have enough money from the sponsor, and they wouldn't be able to do so many shows.

Sponsors are not a bad thing. The only time they're bad is if the band one day promotes their stuff in a commercial or music video (a la Nelly's Air Force 1) or on stage at their tour
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
