Looks like the powers that be at Pepsi finally had enough of the backlash against their, um, ill-advised new ad featuring Kendall Jenner ending civil unrest by giving some pop to a cop:
They’ve pulled the ad and apologized for pissing off so many people — and for hurting Kendall Jenner’s impeccable reputation:

Pepsi’s not garnering much sympathy even after that apology. Nor, for that matter, is Kendall Jenner.
Should have just kept your apology if this is it

If you are truly remorseful, make a donation to #BLM and truly help the cause. Until then… pic.twitter.com/kjzfovuEEo

this is bad damage control. People of color must be part of the review and decision-making process. Jenner should know better.

Word of advice: Pepsi, next time you feel like getting woke, go back to sleep.
