I don't get the outrage. Is it that much different than that classic "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" ad? It's thematically pretty similar.

The outrage is over your melt with Big Jonny. Say you're sorry, BKoook. He might buy you a Pepsi if you apologize for your outbursts.

Wow.
Wow.
We can all bond and heal, cheer like your team won the super bowl, if Miss Jenner shakes off those shackles that bind her (gross advertising, since her fee was prolly most of Pepsi's budget) by handing an officer a Pepsi. Easy Peasy.
