I Love Pepsi

Not sure why the Jenner comercial was banned.

What was the problem? What is the controversy?

Not trying to be rude, I really don't get it.

Hahaha - well let's test all this genius theory you're all offering.

Is the Pepsi commercial with Jenner still on the air?

I think Pepsi removed it due to the uproar.

But I do not understand the problem.
Not sure if I agree with the ban or not, because I don't get it.

No clue what ban you're talking about. But if you've watched the commercial and don't find it ridiculous, you probably won't ever get it.

@hlpflwthat: it was a ridiculous comercial. Not my favourite.
But i still don't get why people complained to Pepsi and broadcasts to have it removed.

Who was offended and why?

The decision to remove is 100% PepsiCo - no one else. Can't put this on broadcasters. The most common term I heard was 'tone deaf.' It didn't resonate with [i]anyone.[/i]

It was a blunder from writing to casting. [i]No one's[/i] favorite. Why do [b]you[/b] need to identify and blame someone for having it removed?

@hlpflwthat: true. Pepsi created, distributed it, and pulled it. I get that.

They removed it at least in part because of the complaints they received and the complaints the broadcasters received.

I'm wondering why people complained.
