Pepsi TV ad pushing gay lifestyle

Watch the TV ad

January 26, 2009

Pepsi is now using its TV spots to promote the gay lifestyle. AFA asked Pepsi to remain neutral in the culture war. Pepsi refused. The company said it will continue major financial support of homosexual organizations seeking to legalize homosexual marriage.

Pepsi gave $500,000 to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the largest and most powerful gay lobbying group in America. The company also gave $500,000 to Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). The total gift of $1,000,000 to the two homosexual activist groups was to help promote the gay lifestyle in the workplace.

After Pepsi gave their money to HRC, HRC gave $2.3 million to oppose California’s Prop 8, an initiative which defined marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Pepsi also forces its employees to attend sexual orientation and gender identity diversity training, where they are taught to accept homosexuality.

Take Action!
• Watch the 30-second TV ad.
• If you haven’t already done so, sign the Boycott Pepsi Pledge.
• After signing the pledge, please call Pepsi (914-253-2000 or 1-800-433-2652) and tell the company you will boycott its products until its stops promoting the gay agenda. Please be polite.
• Pepsi’s products include Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay chips (800-352-4477), Tropicana (800-237-7799), and Gatorade (800-367-6287).
• Print and distribute the Boycott Pepsi Petition to family, friends, fellow church members, and others. Millions of people are not aware of Pepsi’s support of the gay lifestyle.
• Join our cause on Facebook

This boycott has nothing to do with whether or not Pepsi hires homosexuals, or if homosexuals purchase Pepsi products, or how Pepsi treats its homosexual employees. This boycott is about the fact that, as a corporation, Pepsi is promoting the gay lifestyle.

[hendo]

20. i would too

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

2. Well, that explains my brother. He drank that stuff like water when he was a kid. nt

[Tektonik]

6. Pepsi IS better

:9

[tulsakatz]

14. it's definitely better!! n/t

[NYC_SKP]

3. I'd never seen the Pepsi Max ad in question. Here it is at youtube:

Rather than have to go to the AFA site.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSwhmOdQ92k

I like it!

[dbonds]

4. I don't drink soda's, but they get big brownie points for pissing of afa

[Horse with no Name]

5. They are going after Pepsi because their ads were overtly "Obama"

and since they hate Obama but it is easier to PUBLICLY hate gays, they are attacking them from this vantage point.

[readmoreoften]

8. Naaah. The AFA boycotts every damn company that interacts with us.

I don't think they care about Obama one way or the other. They just hate gay people with a white hot passion and have for decades now.

[liberalmuse]

9. By Job, you've hit it right on the head.

The new logo is eerily similar to Obama's, and that makes the reich wing rabid.

[liberalmuse]

7. I guess I'm gay, then, because I drink shitloads of Diet Pepsi.

Meh. :shrug:

[Double T]

10. I drink BOTH Coke And Pepsi and I support Gays and Heterosexuals.

I'd like to teach the world to THINK, in perfect harmony.........

[marmar]

11. That's one of my favorite commercials ever......

.... A bit sugary sweet, but it makes me feel good: "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company."

[nickinSTL]

12. maybe I'll get my wife Pepsi from now on...

she'll really appreciate that (she's a Diet Coke drinker). :evilgrin:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. There's a "gay lifestyle"?

Well, hell, does this mean I'm living a "straight lifestyle"? If so, how do I account for owning a couple of pairs of hiking boots.

Frankly, I wonder what I'm concealing.

When I found out how gay-friendly Pepsi was, I finished up the Diet Coke around here and bought five 12-packs of Diet Pepsi. Good stuff. It'll be a staple in this home from now on.

Just because of their stance. And that they're pissing off those nimrod bigots at the AFA.

[Sheets of Easter]

23. I remember that commercial. That was recent.

It was a Heinz Deli Mayo commercial, a product that is NOT EVEN SOLD IN THE STATES.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nLNPdZPSII0

It didn't promote the "gay lifestyle" (god, I hate that term). It was an ironically witty commercial with an American deli owner archetype playing the "Mum" role, and anybody with half a brain (which is about half more than the AFA as a whole) would realize that.

[hedgehog]

15. Here's my problem : I hardly ever buy soda, so how do I support Pepsi?

[marmar]

16. Isn't Aquafina bottled water a Pepsi product? Also, I'm sure they own some other food operations....

..... at one time, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut were part of the Pepsi empire, methinks.

[SmileyRose]

30. TacoBell, Pizza Hut and KFC are now Brands Inc

They were pepsico but were sold some time ago.

[ColbertWatcher]

25. Laugh at AFA? n/t

[SmileyRose]

29. PEPSICO = Tropicana, Frito Lay, Quaker, Lipton, SoBe, Naked Juices, Aunt Jemima,

there are more at www.pepsico.com

[CatholicEdHead]

17. Nuts to them, I am not giving up my Mountain Dew

Pepsi, Campbell Soup, or whatever they are whining about I will still buy.

[vanderBeth]

18. Good on Pepsi

[obiwan]

19. Moot point for me. Pepsi products suck. They don't get my money anyway.

Give me a Coke Zero or a Diet Rite any day.

[ColbertWatcher]

27. According to Wikip*dia ...

... Pepsi Corp owns several "brands:"

Pepsi, Tropicana, Frito-Lay, Quaker, and Gatorade.

(more)

--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo#PepsiCo_brands">Wikip*dia

So there's more to Pepsi than soft drinks.

[Political Heretic]

21. +1 for Pepsi

[corruptmewithpower]

22. Just had a diet pepsi and I feel gay,. . . er uhh, . . . happy.

[Initech]

24. So long Jack & Coke, hello Jack & Pepsi.

I love any group or company that pisses the fundies off.

[Obamarama]

26. The fucking AFA is so tiresome....

They really ought to just shut the fuck up. An insufferable den of whiny neo-Puritans is what they are. A pox on them.

[SmileyRose]

28. There's more than one secret in Donald E. Wildmon's closet

Who knows what it is, but it takes something, or several somethings really incredible to twist someone up that bad.

[Starry Messenger]

31. I've always prefered Pepsi, so this is good.

"Now with less hate!"
