The Internet Blew Up Yesterday After This Ad Was Released

Apr 5, 2017, 5:57 AM | Updated: 6:58 am

The Internet and social media freaked out yesterday (and still is) out over a new Pepsi ad where Kendall Jenner is doing a photoshoot, and sees a bunch of protesters marching by with peace signs. She takes off her blonde wig, wipes off her lipstick and then proceeds to join them.

The commercial ends with Jenner bringing a can of Pepsi to one of the police officers who’s in the middle of the road blocking them.

Tons of people claim the ad is the most “tone-deaf” ad so far this year, mostly because Pepsi is trying to capitalize on the idea that protests are so “IN” right now and profit off it.

Others think it’s just another example of people looking for reasons to be offended, and it’s not a big deal.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is…..
