Britney, Pepsi, and God

Tuesday June 3, 2008

From a NYT profile of Lee Child:

He is the sort of person who carefully outlines his replies, explaining that there are three reasons for this or two causes of that, and he has a mind that’s a midden of trivia. He knows why watches in ads are always set at 8 minutes past 10, for example (too complicated to explain), and while watching the Britney Spears Pepsi commercial during the Super Bowl a few years ago, he saw instantly how “Pepsi Cola” is an anagram for “Episcopal” and “Britney Spears” an anagram for “Presbyterians.”

Can he explain why crowds at basketball games are able to chant "air Ball" in the same notes and on pitch when they can't sing anything else in the proper notes and pitch? It's pretty freaky and supernatural.
