Kendall Jenner, best known as a fashion model and reality star has come under attack after appearing in an controversial Pepsi digital advertisement.
Jenner was asked to participate in a Pepsi commercial set to air digitally to promote the “live bolder” brand. The commercial was live for 24 hours before being pulled due to some harsh criticism.

The commercial showed Jenner leaving what looks like a fashion show (taking off a white wig and rubbing off her make up) to join a march in the streets.
The protestors seem calm as they laughed, took photos, walked together, and fist pumped.
Jenner gives a soda to one of the officers and continues marching. At the end of the commercial people have begun to following her.
All while holding a can of Pepsi as the “live bolder” logo appears.
Pepsi released a statement on their Twitter account saying they “missed the mark.”

I, for one, salute Kendall Jenner's efforts to fight childhood obesity by making sure no one ever buys a Pepsi ever again.
