Wow.... Pepsi ad will make people's heads explode
Apparently it got leaked, and Pepsi is trying to squash it on the Internet.

So, if the link still works:

1. I'm sure a lot of groups will be offended by this Ad but many "Groups" are..
..offended by just about anything.
Even I get (slightly) offended by many Ads that portray the average husband as a simple-minded dolt who can barely
open a can of soup.
For a Society that continually yells about it's Freedoms, we sure bitch a lot about nothing of much importance. :) :)

10. Well, I've complained about that myself for years.
I've even been known to say... "This isn't television. Just because I'm a husband and a dad doesn't mean I'm an idiot."

3. They kinda dragged the joke out too long. Plus the music sucked.
The comments were funnier. The ad not so much.

6. You know what's funny - there are churches that use those same exact tactics
There's a local church that robo calls everyone about their services. And their church offers KFC Sunday where there will be KFC (sometimes Taco Bell) after church.

How pathetic is a church if THAT is the reason they hope you'll attend.

8. That was part of Doritos Super Bowl contest.
They run a contest for best commercial on their web site and show the winner during the Super Bowl. An ad agency created this one, but Pepsi decided it wasn't a finalist.

Pretty smart move. They get the commercial to go viral for free while sternly rebuking the commercial to avoid angering its religious customers.
