Stunned (OP) User ID: 21100567 United States 12/11/2012 10:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I guess inflation has really had an impact. I looked up the controversial deal with Madonna in the late 80's..the one that Pepsi ended up pulling..that deal was for only tiny 5 million dollars. I'm not against advertising. I understand companies have a need to do that..but this is beyond explanation. Couldn't they take even a small portion of that money and do something good for some people who need it?? There are still a lot of Hurricane Sandy victims that need help..yet they have the money to make this over the top deal with Beyonce...and nobody calls them on it???? Really?????? |

Quoting: Stunned 21100567 Are their marketing people really that stupid? or is this another behind the scenes Illuminati tactic of some type. If it is, they really think the masses are stupid. This has to be the result of some kind of inside joke or wager among the elites. [link to abcnews.go.com] Makes you sick to hear skit like that!! |

You have so much contempt in your heart for your fellow man that you can't come up with something better than that? It so happens that KFC and Pizza Hut's fountain cola, as well as Taco Bell, and others, is Pepsi Products. BTW, you might look up the definition of racism. A correlation as you suggest is bigotry, not racism! |
Stunned (OP) User ID: 21100567 United States 12/11/2012 10:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is an "in your face" joke toward the American consumer. They are trying to prove that they can do something like this that is so extremely outrageous and over the top..and the ignorant masses will still eat it up..because they have been truly dumbed down to that level... I think it is a test to prove their objectives (that they have been patiently and steadily striving for for many years) have finally been achieved. If there is no major backlash..then that is a signal to them to take things on up to the next level.. It means "Success"..."Mission Accomplished". Brainwashing complete. |

Can they make the money back by having her as a promoter? I mean, Pepsi/Coke are well established brands, is it necessary? |
