Caring either way seems like a waste of effort. These types of ads are par for the course.

Ads have been pretty stupid lately, first the Nivea one now this. Now I dont particularly care, but people do get offended easily these days so you really want to cover your bases.

I don't disagree with this but when their ideology seems to be "lib tears", can you blame them? It's not like the outrage is justified, well pointed, or anything. Stupid begets stupid. At least the arguments "for" the ad are coherent, even if dishonest in their genuine beliefs.

Hate to do the deflection tactic but there really is real shit to concern ourselves with.
Sarin attack? Nope, my feed was flooded with Pepsi idiocy.

If liberals want to fall for the trap every time, the alt righters are going to keep poking.

my feed was flooded with the attacks, i've only seen one or two out the Pepsi ad. Every other post on my feed yesterday and even today was about the attacks....you can also talk about two different things at once. There isn't a rule that you can't talk about a dumb pepsi ad just because something more serious has also occurred. and why give them a pass for how they act? "well their thing is lib tears what did you expect"?...if you're upset about how Liberals act how can you not be upset about that? That does more damage and causes more divisiveness...

Using Kendall Jenner in the ad gives it a subtext that makes the whole thing completely ridiculous. If they had just used a model nobody recognizes it would have been received much differently I think

Its a p undeniably embarrassing, corny and amazingly ham-fisted advert trying to co-opt protest movements to sell sugar water. Don't think it has anything to do with what your political beliefs are

Hell shouldn't right wingers hate it because it positively portrays protest movements in general? But no, liberal lefties the world over are ridiculing it incessantly, it must be defended!

There was no putting it to anyone. BLM flipped their lid about it, and THEN it became about laughing at them. This commercial probably wouldn't have amounted to much if they didn't make it a big deal.

t trying to co-opt protest movements


Which? Because there were no signs other than "peace"
No one owns the concept of protests or peace ffs. There hasn't been an anti-war protest in years. (afaik)

right wingers hate it because it positively portrays protest movements in general


Perhaps if the right hated the concept of protests . . . forgetting about the teabaggers already? Forgetting about the gun rights protests?

God damn, this is the type of idiocy that begets more idiocy.

I'm done with this whole topic. Fuck it I'm out before I lose more of myself.

I do not know who Kendall Jenner is. And getting upset about a soda drink commercial is silly. Commercials are created to bring attention to the brand that is paying for the commercial. Pepsi has obviously succeeded in what every company tries to do through the use of commercials.

I don't understand this line of thinking...My car getting a flat is also a first world problem, am I not allowed to be upset about that? People see this ad as glorifying protests and using serious world issues to push their product. yes, its what these companies do, but why should people just let that happen just because "its a first world problem!".....

your car getting a flat is a direct inconvenience to you. this commercial inconveniences no one and constantly talking about it is exactly what pepsi wants anyway. you really dont have an option other than just letting it happen tbh, by talking about it you are only playing into pepsis hands anyway

Does that actually air on tv? Because what I'd be upset about is a fucking 3 minute commercial.

Did someone say 3 minutes?

Just a viral ad. I'm sure they would have cut a 30 second version if it didn't get so much criticism.

I don't like the commercial because it implies the officers are the ones needing to chill out.

The officers should be handing out Pepsis to the protesters.
