Kendall falls flat

A PEPSI commercial – what could go wrong? That must be what Kendall Jenner thought when she signed up for an ad in which she plays a girl who joins a protest march and wins over a tough-guy security guard with a can of skoosh.

But with tensions high in the United States, the model, above, faced a savage backlash.

There has been a slew of adverse comparisons with the students who placed flowers in the rifle barrels of National Guardsmen at antiVietnam protests, the sacrifice of students gunned down at Kent State University in 1970 and current Black Lives Matter marches.

Once cola ads were lip-smackin’. Now they’re just gob-smackin’.
