This afternoon Pepsi pulled their controversial Kendall Jenner ad after social media backlash that suggested not only it being one of the worst commercials ever made but it was incredibly tone deaf.
Tone deaf in the sense that A. it certainly seemed to be trivializing very real social movements like Black Lives Matter and B. it provided the notion that all of the World’s problems could be solved by chugging a Pepsi.
Have a look:
My god, if only Ghandi knew to offer up a Pepsi Max then maybe he wouldn’t have gotten the shit beat out of him and thrown in prison by British imperialist. On the other hand, protests are the ‘in thing’ right now. I mean I hope my outfit doesn’t clash with my sign.
