Oh Pepsi, why oh why?

Kendall Jenner in the controversial ad

Pepsi released a new ad, featuring Kendall Jenner, but the Internet is not pleased at all.

Most of America, and the world have been in protest mode for quite some time now, and Pepsi thought "Oh, this might be a great time to join the protest wagon".

But they got it completely wrong. And the Internet is not letting this slide.

Now, here's the thing, Pepsi made an ad that makes it look like protests are just places where cool kids go to hang out.

But this is what protests and clashes with real security forces actually look like.

Or like this.

Protests are about wanting change. About demanding. About dissatisfaction. About anger. Not a video looking like a backyard garage party. Let's not even start with how it was Kendal Jenner they chose to use.

And yes, people already made parodies, and this one is just outright hilarious.

In a statement to Business Insider, Pepsi commented on the ad, saying:

"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"

Yeah right.
