Pepsi's ‘Tone-Deaf,’ ‘Cringeworthy’ Protest-Themed Ad Riles Left

On April 3, Pepsi Global released a protest-themed campaign starring model Kendall Jenner. Shortly thereafter, the internet exploded like a shaken soda can. Called “Live For Now Moments Anthem,” the ad featured a crowd of multicultural, millennial protestors marching with signs urging “peace” and “join the conversation.” Watching the scene from the middle of her photo shoot, Jenner ripped off her wig, wiped the stain from her lips and joined the resistance movement. Something progressives should love, right?
