Bernice's message is clear: The ad belittles the struggles of civil rights activists like her father to sell soda. Pepsi even released its commercial on the anniversary of her father's death adding more fuel to opponent's fire. The controversial ad sparked outrage across the internet as soon as it went live on YouTube.
Pepsi's commercial, which the company has said it will scrub, shows Jenner cutting a modeling shoot short to join a protest in the streets after a guy nods at her. After she makes her way toward the commotion, she simply stops in front of a police officer, hands him a can of Pepsi, and everyone cheers.
