Ya think so Pepsi? Your execs aren't smart enough to read the national political mood.

I do find it a positive that the popular backlash against Pepsi was such it had to withdraw the ad. Although no such thing as bad PR???

Sadly, the negative PR in this case promotes the career of another useless Kardashian leech.

Nope. The only thing they’re sorry for is the got caught SJW handed.

Note to Pepsi share holders. You need a new board and and new set of execs. Or, you can watch your shares devalue as normal people express their ire over the shenanigans.

LOL! I actually watched the ad on, I think, Newsbusters. One of the lamest pieces of advert I’ve seen in a while. No wonder they pulled it. I mean tryin’ to sell soda pop on the backs of #blm and other oppressed groups. These little snowflake POS wouldn’t know oppression if it slapped them in the face. And, I’m starting to feel like doin’ some slappin’.

“Clearly we missed the mark...”

You bet you missed the “mark”. You overpaid idiots think you’re something more than a beverage bottler.

Your mission or “mark” is to sell more of your chemical fizzy sugar-water crap. That’s all you are. You’re not an agent of social change. Nor are you important to society. So FO dumba$$es. Hope your stockholders rip you new ones and fire all of you.

I have never watched one of their shows. But I do marvel at what Kris Jenner accomplished. She is one crafty woman.

David Foster’s ex-wife is trying to follow in her footsteps. she is the mother of the current IT girls..Bella and Gigi Hadid. She has started a reality show about Models.

Somehow..I don’t think she will match The Kardashians.

I have nearly stopped drinking Coke and Pepsi over thier political standing and support for these groups. Supporting BLM today is like the supporting the KKK by elites in the South before 1965. BLM is a homosexual ran and racist oridented organization. If White Lives Matter had the same agenda, it would see a DOJ shutdown.

They’re destructionists. No ability to relate cause to effect over time is a mandatory condition for them.

Further proof that PT Barnum was right.
