Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - PepsiCo and blatant racial-specific marketing tactics

If you've seen the recent Vanilla Pepsi commercials, or any Pepsi Blue commercials, you should know what I'm talking about. I find the commercials demeaning, and insulting to the intelligence of the viewer. What on earth makes a soft drink "more black" than another?

I'm not sure if this belongs on the Politics forum, please feel free to move it elsewhere if necessary. I think that some tie-ins to attempts to specifically target racial groups of voters would be appropriate. Why divide America, what happened to the "melting pot?"
