The worst sentence ever?

In other words, MSN Canada is asking if I'd buy soda if Coke's slogan was "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave?" First of all, I'd find it strange that Coke has its main competitor's name in its slogan. Second of all, I'd find it strange that the slogan, while not obviously a question, is in fact a question due to the question mark's presence inside the closing quotation mark. Third of all, yes, I would buy soda - probably root beer. From the MSN Canada homepage on October 21, 2010.
