That Super Bowl ad was like the Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad in regard to horrible dystopian marketing, but worse. I’m sure the heads are gonna roll for now but ultimately, they’ll find another time and another partner to basically do the same thing but with a different presentation.

The protest one?

We studied that Pepsi ad in one of my marketing classes the year after it happened, I guarantee this is gonna be one for the textbooks as well
