Pepsi has released a statement surrounding their controversial new commercial starring Kendall Jenner: https://t.co/jQQJQVLoqa

Their statement says:
“The creative showcases a moment of unity, and a point where multiple storylines converge in the final advert. It depicts various groups of people embracing a spontaneous moment, and showcasing Pepsi’s brand rallying cry to ‘Live For Now,’ in an exploration of what that truly means to live life unbounded, unfiltered and uninhibited.”
Kendall has yet to comment.
Needles to say the commercial garnered lots of media attention, just not in the way they wanted it to

This Pepsi ad is so unrealistic. Those protesters would have been Dr. Pepper Sprayed. https://t.co/oNjjtm6eFu
