There are always going to be consequences when you setup the status quo! I am proud of my brother Kanye, and I encourage you all to discontinue buying pepsi--there's no nutritional value there anyway!


Kanye West dropped by Pepsi......
Kanye West, former spokesperson for Pepsi, has since lost his
endorsement deal with the soft drink giant due to his publicized remarks
regarding the mishandling of the Katrina evacuees/victims. I mean if
you're like me...just SICK and TIRED of being black in America and being
mishandled, then do something. Our parents and their parent's SHUT DOWN
an entire bus system during the Civil Rights era by CHOOSING to do
something. Here is your opportunity.
We're calling a boycott on ALL Pepsi products. If they want to drop
Kanye, how about we DROP them! And as much as we love a good Pepsi and a
bag of Fritos, we should not buy another Pepsi including any of their
family products (see link below) until a formal apology is given and a
donation is rendered to the Red Cross (or a similar organization) in the
sum of the amount of Kanye's contract with Pepsi.
If you're committed to doing something to tell not just Pepsi but the
world (including the Associated Press for that racist caption) that
there is power in the Black community, then pass this along. Because
there's POWER in numbers.

http://eurweb.com/story.cfm?id=22571Still, until Kayne releases a statement that says he hasn't been dropped by Pepsi, I think we should all assume that its true.

There would be considerable fall-out from a decision by PEPSI to LIE about thier spokesmen and whether or not anyone has been hired, fired and why ESPECIALLY because of all of thier controversial spokespeople and situations in the past couple years... I don't think this should be beleived, I JUST SAW THE COMMERCIALS YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING. which means that in the interim when PEPSI is releasing statements SOME number of weeks after Kanye's clip - which was even possibly during or POST production on the spot PEPSI could have yanked it before airing yesterday night and this morning. BUT they didn't which leaves me to believe that it is indeed A RUMOR that Ye' has been dropped. plus those commercials are dope. -I am originally from the 'Go so, its easy for me...

but you get what i mean... that cat didn't get kicked from PEPSI, ludacris showed them they can't just go up and do that... even though Ye' did kind of snap on that Clip, some called it publicity. But if youve seen it - its on ifilms.com - then you would know that it wasn't, at least purely so.

He's a performer and was all exasperated when speaking, I am surprised that he hasn't been assassinated after that, but entertainers dont have real opinions that matter any way... we all know that.

And even if you only drink sugar free soda, the carbonation is bad for your skin and teeth.

There are also studies that show it causes problems for your bones, as it prevents calcium absorption. Nonetheless, I like an ice cold Coke on a hot day.

But if you're set on drinking Sprite, it's your funeral.

Sorry guys, I'm not giving up my Pepsi for Kanye, Kerry, Howard Dean or Sharpe James. There are limits. Period!

Besides, didn't Kanye know that you should never critique the neocon's cult hero - George W Bush? My goodness, he should lose his contract believing that FoxNews and the rest of the right-wing propaganda network wouldn't crush him for his comments. Of course, this type of censorship is only made possible because the punkish Left is unprincipled in standing up to the right's assult.

Looks like I'll be the only one posting around the year 2025, after that carbonated rat poison has done all of you in. James will probably still be running for re-election then.

Didn't West learn anything after they canned Whoppi for her jokes about GWII last year?

Try Diet Rite! No carbs, no sugar, no caffeine and no SODIUM (now I can't quite understand how but anyhoo) and it tastes GREAT!
