PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny
PepsiCo Beaten Women Are Funny — PepsiCo contracted rapper Tyler, The Creator, to make a commercial for Mountain Dew.
Oh boy, did he. It featured a white woman with bruises on her face, a brace around her neck and leaning on a crutch trying to pick her assailant from a police lineup that featured young black men dressed as thugs and a goat. The goat mouths gangster-type threats at her and the ad ends with her fleeing from the room while a detective sips on a Mountain Dew.
PepsiCo pulled the ad and scrubbed it from YouTube as some strangely found it offensive.
It is offensive.
Drink Coke. Heck, drink Sam’s Club or some other store brand. It beats supporting this garbage.
