I mean sure, it was dumb and cringy as hell but isn't that the point of adverts? To make your product seem more important than it is?

No idea why it's being compared to a man being DRAGGED out of an airplane.

I don't think it's being compared to the airplane story, it's just a meme at this point. The Pepsi commercial was in bad taste, but I think most people accept that Pepsi just made a dumb decision that the owned up to. People just think it's funny to drag stories through the mud.

Okay I literally see nothing offensive about that. It's cringe but not offensive. Are people upset it doesn't show police as evil tyrants beating down all opposition?

It's in bad taste because it's like

"Oh, you're black and the police are going to kill you? Just give them a Pepsi, everything will be fine

Except they weren't. They were just standing there keeping security as they are supposed to do. Stop this nonsense.

Did you just imply that I'm a racist for not thinking Police are evil jackboots who just want to walk around beating up black people? You are seriously off the fucking deep end.

How dare you, you know me better than that.
