Kendall Jenner, a beacon of woke-ness that only Zizek-thumpers can compete with, starred in a Pepsi ad that featured her abandoning a photo shoot to not only join a peace rally, but solve decades of tensions between the police and those hoping for basic human rights from their government by handing a Pepsi to a riot control officer.
People aren’t havin’ it!
In fact, you could say there’s a heavy resistance to the ad that has its heart split between an uplifting message of hope and pushing soda down the throats of those afflicted by backward, hateful government policies.
And so, many of the people who would likely be out marching for the rights of those marginalized by society with a reusable water bottle, have taken to Twitter in an effort to strike down this latest stage capitalism with a sound and fury.
The results are both depressing and hilarious:

Somehow Pepsi managed to perfectly piss off two completely opposing sides of the same issue. That's like a 7-10 split fail.

YOU, POLITICALLY IGNORANT, OFFERING ME A DRINK: is Pepsi ok?
ME, THIRSTY BUT EXTREMELY WOKE: no, it is not. It is not at all.— Dr. Bucky Isotope, Astrologist, IQ 188 (@BuckyIsotope) April 4, 2017
Now that Kendall Jenner and Pepsi have solved police brutality, we just need Jared Kushner and Coke to solve the Mideast peace problem. pic.twitter.com/yAGCtKO7uu

I want to thank Pepsi for showing us what a protest would look like if it were focus-grouped by a billion-dollar corporation first. pic.twitter.com/11dTuuS790

When Kendall gives the cops a Pepsi it's all good, but when my Black friends protest nonviolently they're "thugs & criminals". pic.twitter.com/MnzNk3f5rs
