Pepsi Apologizes For Trivializing Black Lives Matter And Pulls Kendall Jenner Ad
“Pepsi has apologized for a controversial advertisement that borrowed imagery from the Black Lives Matter movement, after a day of intense criticism from people who said it trivialized the widespread protests against the killings of black people by the police.
“Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace and understanding. Clearly, we missed the mark and apologize,” the company said in a statement on Wednesday. “We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are pulling the content and halting any further rollout.”
The ad, posted to YouTube on Tuesday, shows attractive young people holding milquetoast signs with nonspecific pleas like “Join the conversation.” The protesters are uniformly smiling, laughing, clapping, hugging and high-fiving. …”
They surrendered for offending Black Lives Matter.
Here you have a multinational corporation pandering to the Black Lives Matter movement. They want to be associated with the cause. They’re promoting this thing. And yet, that’s not politically correct!
