I am not outraged, but disappointed. Every second and every frame of a commercial like this is examined. There are things about this video that are offensive and the producers knew what they were doing.

/----"Now, about this Pepsi ad, what this really is — or what really has the left agitated here is — that these protests are serious things. They’re really serious, and they’re engaged in by really committed people against genuine fascist, authoritarian pigs like Trump. And to have Pepsi go in there and claim that giving a cop a Pepsi will make the protesters stop protesting is offensive. It’s absurd! And now Pepsi is hated. Pepsi is despised. Twitter last night blew up against Pepsi for, quote, “appropriating anti-Trump resistance to sell soda.”If so, why?
I watched and thought it was stupid, but I don't understand all of the hubbub.
This has exploded on social media, and Pepsi has now pulled the ad.

So they went in there and made the protesters look like they were anti-Trump people and that they could be bought off and silenced with a cop accepting a gift of Pepsi in the midst of the protest. Now, as an adjunct to this, you know, I study advertising to a certain extent, because I think it gives us a clue as to our culture. Advertisers’ main objective is to separate people from their money, and so advertising has to be culturally relevant. It has to be hip, at least to the audience targeted." - Rush
It did not offend me. I said there were things that are offensive, meaning offensive to some, but not necessarily others. It is anti-trump and pro trump protester. The lead, the model, tosses away the elite status and joins the diverse people marching and protesting. Eventually, an understanding is made with the authority figure, the cop who accepts the Pepsi. The message, protesting is good. Protesting is a positive for the new generation.I am not outraged, but disappointed. Every second and every frame of a commercial like this is examined.

Which frames were offensive to you.
The only thing that offended me was the vapidity.

Man, Americans are so easily triggered. What a bunch of pussies!

So you must not have gotten their point then.No it seems silly and doesn't really have a point but nothing there offends me.
Not really I usually just skip past commercials.So you must not have gotten their point then.No it seems silly and doesn't really have a point but nothing there offends me.
You would be the perfect target for a Budweiser commercial !!!
