ペプシ「人種問題で話題づくり」と大炎上のCM、公開1日で取り下げ決定

A Pepsi advert with supermodel Kendall Jenner is causing controversy, with some people suggesting that it exploits the Black Lives Matter movement. In the commercial Jenner, 21, ditches a high fashion photoshoot to go and join a protest on the street. The KUWTK reality star then hands a can of Pepsi to a police officer in a gesture of conciliation. Some are comparing the image to that of Ieshia L. Evans, 35, a nurse and mother who was arrested during a protest in Baton Rouge, Louisiana last year. A spokesperson from Pepsi told Adweek: "This is a global ad that reflects people from different walks of life coming together in a spirit of harmony, and we think that's an important message to convey".
