This is either a very big screw up at Pepsi, or a mischievous prank. I tend to think that it was the latter because it was shot on location in San Francisco.
Before you ask what the screw up is, here is some background. The Pepsi pinball commercial is filmed to the track of of a song named 'Ca Plane' Pour Moi' a cover performed by American band named THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The song was originally recorded by Elton Motello as a single called 'Jet Boy Jet Girl' Listen Here (http://archive.salon.com/ent/audiofile/2007/02/16/jetboy/index.html) "which was picked up by Lightning Records. "The record was extremely catchy, punky and risqué as hell with lyrics regarding oral sex and penetrating boys as girls!" 1 (http://www.punk77.co.uk/groups/eltonmotello.htm). Song lyrics:Link (http://www.asklyrics.com/display/Damned/Jet_Boy_Jet_Girl_Lyrics/208262.htm)
Because the lyrics were too controversial, a meaningless stew of words became 'Ca Plane' Pour Moi' to the tune of 'Jet Boy Jet Girl' and recorded by Plastic Bertrand Listen Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PITnJAnmjqw) who was none other than Elton Montello's drummer before Montello's original was recorded,but, it is the same song.

This is some kind of a joke.
