WildBluntHickok
Put out an ad that suggested that protesters are just whiners and giving a cop a pepsi would solve any problems.
DEAFBANDIT
I thought the ad was about encouraging peace between all and sharing culture so that we may have a better and less hateful future.
DEAFBANDIT
But nah you're probably right, Pepsi hates blacks

Poor man. I just wanna hold him till he's all better

I smell a multi million dollar lawsuit..
dingbatwingbat
As much as United was rude to him, he technically had to give up his seat if they asked him to. He might be able to sue for their methods.
NotoriousDuchess
Yep this guy is gonna get a big payout.
jeffasaurusrex
Exactly
SilentInSUB
Yup. There were plenty of ways for them to diffuse the situation. The easiest being that they move to another person and bump up the offer.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
They attacked him. They told security to attack him.
Septcanmat
"You give up your seat and we DONT brutalize you. Better deal than the last guy got."
zethlington
Supposedly if I understood their website correctly, this is required by them
dingbatwingbat
Well as I understand t they did offer money to everyone, but no one took it. They finally had to make people get off. (1/2)
zethlington
Altho that seem like for those that are denied to board. Since he had already boarded I'm not sure. And cuz they wanted emoloyees on instead
dingbatwingbat
However, in the fine print when you buy a ticket it says they can make you give up your seat if they need it. So he couldn't say no (2/2)
Nomulus
They couldn't a more innocent man to attack if they tried.

Well ain't that some shit.
raidleadergutts
Also, FUCK that title. He didn't "kick and scream", he was dragged out unconscious.
diaaway
Yeah, but they actually did write that the security threw him against the armrest, and they did include the video - still a shitty tittle.
bumgirder
Forcefully removed a passenger, beat the shit out of him.
gabewalker10
Offered incentives to a passenger.
GlowGreen
Probably better they don't apologize to him, he'll make that much more money when he sues them.
lazerzpewpew
The statements they have already made are so weak as it is. I hope he takes them for all they are worth.
inthe713
United didn't beat the shit out of him, Chicago Dept of Aviation officers were forced to remove him from the flight after he refused.
raidleadergutts
"forced to remove him from the flight after he refused" How nicely you twist the story. They knocked him unconscious & dragged him out.
ryunwould
I thought the exact same thing.

Your question has already been answered. I just wanted to join the conversation.
AlcoholicsAnonymousBYO
Is it too asinine to say "me too?" I only ask, because I like using the word "asinine" because you say "ass" to say it.

I probably should've stumbled to that earlier.

Don't trust every thing you read on the internet. For example, the one about Pepsi being a Nazi front? Yeah, that one.

Is it true you're going to sign with the raiders
SearchingForUnderstanding
They angered the overly sensitive SJW crowd who were looking for something to be overly sensitive about.
Gibenitural
Not sure about the offended part, but man what a stupid ad. Straight outta the 80's.
SearchingForUnderstanding
None of my issues with it rise to the level of offense that many have taken. I think most people just want something to ridicule anyway.

I'm just as confused as you are. From what I can gather, one of the Jenner girls played in a Pepsi commercial...

Yeah I just read the article. Apparently they used police officers with fake patches that looked too much like the real ones.

Pepsi made a heavy handed and clumsy attempt to tap into the anger in America and use it to sell Pepsi and people thought it was tacky

I'm too lazy to find a link but they released an ad with Kendall Jenner that supposedly made light of the black lives matter movement

Google Pepsi commercial and watch the one with Kendall Jenner. It's completely racially insensitive.
bustosoon
Racially insensitive lol
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Man. I'm surprised no body said anything about the outrage from Skittles releasing an all white bag with mystery flavored candies 1/2
TotallyNotADogInTrenchCoat
Talking about "pride makes the world go round " or something of that sort. Going off the fact that White is a combination of all color.
thegelatoking
They trivialized the whole activist movement of any type to try to cater to millennials. Because millennial are "activists".
Seventiesguy
Belittled protesters of all races by having Kylie Jenner give a cop a Pepsi and pretended all was good.
thatguy73
I watched it. Thought it was more about the younger generation binding together for unity at all levels and professions. Show how butt hurt
thatguy73
Our society is when we look for a way to be divided than brought together

Watch the SNL version and you will understand

That was point on. Thanks for the heads up.

Was that SNL from 2 days ago? (I haven't checked)
MoooCow
Yes
momolessthenthree
It's actually Kendall Jenner
ScoobyDooGhoulSchool
I honestly don't understand why everyone is so upset. The commercial was clearly meant to represent unity between police and protesters.
omnipotentmonkey
Yeah, by giving the cop a can of pepsi, because clearly all you need is pepsi to solve notable social strife tied to the concepts of 1/
ScoobyDooGhoulSchool
The Pepsi can is a metaphor. It's meant to represent communication and the necessary outreach that must happen to prevent future tragedies.
omnipotentmonkey
personification of being born into entitlement be the one to hand the can over was a baffling move. 3. even if the 'metaphor' was 2/)
omnipotentmonkey
1. that's a stretch. 2. Kendall Jenner, I don't have any issues with the Jenners as people, I don't know them, but having a human 1/)
omnipotentmonkey
intentional, it's a terrible one, a soft-drink represents opening lines of communication and outreach? a fucking soft-drink? 3/)
omnipotentmonkey
it still feels like a trivialisation even in that hypothetical example. 4/4
omnipotentmonkey
perceived systemic racism and power abuse. I don't understand how anyone can't at least perceive why people may have an issue with that. 2/2
Somethingwittythiswaycomes
It's also just a commercial. I'm going to go to medical school to specialize in removing sticks from asses and make a fortune.
omnipotentmonkey
being a commercial makes it worse, as in addition to being incredibly tone-deaf and trivialising, it's doing so to push a product. 3/3
omnipotentmonkey
I recommend you read the chain from the other half of this comment, it's not a simple matter of 'sticks up asses' if you can't 1/
omnipotentmonkey
see the legitimacy of the complaints, you're an idiot. being 'just a commercial' is no excuse, in fact depending on how you look at it, 2/
thatguy73
Yeah the whole point of the commercial was to transcend that stuff be better than it instead of so many people wallowing in it and using it
thatguy73
To define themselves

tornbetweenscyllaandcovfefe
It's an olive branch metaphor that has been used for millennia.
Kimozabi
"Was thought to imply" Well, with an unshakable, concrete baseline like that, no wonder everyone starting claiming that as a fact.

This is where CEOs earn their pay. They are at the helm of a craft with mindless butt-scratching crew members trying to sink their own ship.
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
But then they justify it and blame the passenger instead of admitting the problem and saying apologizing.
todayok
You are dead wrong. The culture was in the company from the top down that this shit is OK. No one does this unless mgmt has your back.

His job is going to be minimizing damage. He will stand by company policy . Blame will be pushed to the LEOs for using excessive force.

okay, but, the CEO probably didn't orchestrate the whole "beating-up-customer" kerfuffle, so maybe he is a good communicator and deserves it
