Netizens are railing against a new soft drink advertisement that is being called the “most racist commercial in history.”
On Wednesday, a spokeswoman for PepsiCo announced it had pulled a minute-long Mountain Dew ad from the web after claims that it reinforces negative stereotypes about black men in the US and makes light of violence against women.
The ad, created by a hip-hop artist who goes by “Tyler, the Creator,” shows an injured white woman with crutches identifying her attacker, a goat, among a row of black male suspects.
Mountain Dew tweeted an apology after removing the commercial. (Via abc news)
