Shows you just how disconnected Pepsi and these celebrities are with the real world and the problems associated with it.
i have been against Pepsi since they Burned up my man MIchael Jackson n the 80's!
SheRaSeven1
never forget
MJ became addicted to those pain killers from the burns.. ☛ ☛ Micheal Jackson never recovered from his addition . = in fact that is what killed him
@SheRaSeven1 Can Pepsi get around to blowing up Beyonce too!
Pepsi makes my teeth all gritty.
Wow, they really scrubbed the comments who disagreed. Noticed they kept a lot who defended.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULDN'T MIX BUSINESS WITH POLITICS!!! When will these billionaires learn that they aren't invincible?
The ad, it's not about the person, in the ad. It's about the seriousness of the ad.
sick, vote with your $$$
I will never drink pepsi again.
You have to remember that the people who write these Pepsi commercials could care less about bringing the world together, all that they want is to keep making billions of dollars by using famous faces and pretending to care about what's going on in the world.
can anybody explain in further detail why it was pulled
Lilly Green Some people think that it's a little insulting to suggest that the issues they protest for can be solved with a can of Pepsi. I personally think it was in poor taste but it wasn't malicious in a any way.
The latest news is that they will be creating a new commercial and this time it will feature Caitlyn Jenner handing out Pepsi to Truck Drivers at a rest stop and then they make her an honorary Truck Driver.
TRIGGERED
Let them eat cake?
added to dank memes
i thought the ad was good, don't see why everybody wants to be offended #TooSensitive
I think it's bout time for it to be brought back
It’s NOT Kendall’s fault
This ad is so incredibly stupid from start to finish that you would think that Donald and Ivanka and Jared wrote, directed, and produced it. Unbelievably tone deaf and insulting to real issues. Good one Pepsi.
Paul Copland stfu Paul.
Travis M - hey, the ad is still incredibly tone deaf and stupid and insulting.
literally no
Donald and Ivanka...? This ad is about millennials protesting against Trump lol
wow
... rolled your eyes ಠ_ಠ but ☛ Marie Antoinette offered better treats js
This is so dumb, the message was to stop all the fighting. Peopple get butt hurt over anything now🙄
lol come on, if Beyonce was the model in this ad. nobody will talk-trash but instead praised it.
candle v of course you say that when your picture is a picture of Kendall. Stop praising that girl like she is some type of God
candle v Beyonce is Black!!!!! and her people are suffering and have been for a long time, that's why its offensive.
beyonce made her stance clear at the Superbowl
this comment is stolen from another vid.
But Beyonce has protested and held rallies for police brutality and black lives matter, Kendall has NEVER stepped foot anywhere near a protest or rally and the only time that she does is when she's getting paid for it. That is the difference!
Huge mistake Pepsi. Huge. Where were your focus groups, board approvals, research? Did you just skip over these steps before you shot and aired this commercial? Did you include the opinions of minorities, Millennials, freedom fighters and political analysts? I don't think so.
This ad was just a cheap remake of the old flower power protest. Pepsi in a cops had is imitating a flower put in a barrel of a gun.
I liked cuz the song was good. Also, some say I'm a contrarian
Good ole pepsi.
Nothing like supporting delinquents, anarchists and rioters 🤙
Shut up imperialist do you want to live in China or what, i know that riots are getting kind of innecesary but riots have done good stuff in the past
I think that Pepsi did the right thing by pulling the ad as it does address all the issues people are talking about. Kendal Jenner obviously didn't think before signing up to do this.
Neither did Pepsi for putting that commercial together in the first place. You could clearly see that regret were no Black people on Pepsi’s team to tell them that they shouldn’t have tried to do this commercial in the first place
What's wrong with it
I see nothing wrong w/that pulled ad either #StopOverthinking
You look like and sound like one of those Millennial kids who is completely out of touch with the real world. 1. Study American history. 2. Pick up a newspaper. WAKE UP.
Looks are deceiving which is why you should not judge a book by its cover *face palm* Therefore I would think the next time I send a message if I were you instead of pre judging inaccurracies which is why I need not to study my National History or newspaper *hint*
Libs can see a commercial and deconstruct every millisecond of it in perfect analysis. Then turn on CNN or watch Hillary and lap it up like so much sweet delicious Pepsi
How can a commercial be considered racist? Good Nite! People have gone way tooooo far.
Next it will be the RACE war over Coke and Sprite.
shepherd rescue except sprite is owned by coke lol
shepherd rescue Who said anything about race?
I just don't understand why this commercial is getting so much hate. I also don't understand why Kendall and her family are getting so much hate. #JENNERANDKARDASHIANLIVESMATTER
Nathaniel Enochs bc they trivialized the struggle of a protest. Personally i dont find it offensive but it was a dumb commercial to say the least.
Coke is better
WTF is so controversial about it??
J.J. Espinoza they used Kendall Jenner, one of the richest, most privileged white girls in modern America to be the face of people who are discriminated
I honestly dont see a protest, I see a parade of people celebrating Love and Peace. And like any parade, cops are just there to make sure everyone is safe. Its a commercial people, don't read too much into it.
Seriously its just an ad you guys! why making a big deal out of it?Just because of Kenny? Some people r just unbelievable! if it wasn't for kenny no one will even see the ad or bother to click the ad's video so sad she was dragged in to this nonsense. One word to describes these ppl #jealous!
Because ads are about IMAGES and images are super powerful in their ability to persuade people to purchase products! I don't feel sorry for Kendall at all. She and her mother should have more carefully considered the outcome of this commercial. Goes to show you that they are both seriously out of touch with the state of the world right now.
True Imagery play this role and also marketing ploy, they have been doing this. Like example the Camel Cigarette commercial like in the 50's where the doctor smoke cigarette, then you know what happens. It's psychological, people can't stop what they watch or hear. I stopped watching T.V because of this nonsense commercial they giving us and plus cable is expensive we already have the internet.
Madonna? The just like a prayer Pepsi controversy?
I don't see anything wrong with it. Folks.... Calm the F down.
ppl bein tacky when the beauty jenner starred the ad.. gosh
I liked cuz the song was good
Only vicious bigots and haters would dislike this ad!
I honestly don't see what the big deal is. I get people are taking it personal, but it's just an ad. There's bigger things going on than a stupid ad that people shouldn't give a f* about.
It was a hot commercial. People are stupid.
More social justice hilarity. It is just an ad.
i thought it was ok if Michael Jackson was in it they would love it lil boys and all
I don't get what's wrong with this ad. You guys voted for trump and a ad is causing a this much news
I just don't understand why this commercial is getting so much hate. I also don't understand why Kendall and her family are getting so much hate. I just don't get it. #JENNERANDKARDASHIANLIVESMATTER
it's s dumb hipster Hollywood ad, but that's it. Just a dumb ad. I would not have gotten all in knots about it. Jeeze. and I don't even like that Jenner person.
Here is what Pepsi was thinking: "There's so much diversity in this commercial everyone will love it". They didn't realize how sensitive blacks are and how they get angry over any little thing. Even though there wasn't any actual reference to Black Lives Matter in the commercial. Also, the Jenners and Kardashians date black guys which means black women are just looking for an excuse to be mad at them. The company has learned a valuable lesson and I don't think this will hurt them very much.
