Kendall Jenner “protest” Pepsi ad prompts hilarious backlash on Twitter. Here’s 21 of the best
Raise a glass to Pepsi and Kendall Jenner, who have just made the most ill-conceived advert ever made.

The “Live for Now” campaign features Jenner walking out of a modelling shoot to join a protest march made up entirely of beautiful people.
She defuses some barely there tension with waiting cops by handing one of them, er, a can of Pepsi.
Nothing like co-opting the protest movement for profit, right?

Normal ad, sell Pepsi. Terrible ad, we talk about it, sell more Pepsi. No escape from consumption. Buy tickets to my show to find out more.

The Kendall Jenner Pepsi fiasco is a perfect example of what happens when there's no black people in the room when decisions are being made.
