Pepsi vs. Coke

Will someone please explain to me this: if Yao Ming is sponsored by Pepsi, and has previously sued Coca Cola for using his image, and if Pepsi is the official sponsor of Team China, but Coca Cola is the official sponsor of the Beijing Olympics... well, how does Yao end up in a Coke ad with LeBron?  (With, may I mention, Yao, a Reebok sponsor, wearing a Nike jersey?)

At least LeBron is a Coke sponsor (though, officially, he only endorses Sprite and Powerade).

Apologies for the back-to-back ad posts:



Thanks to The Beijinger for the heads up on this.
