You've all heard of Murphy's law, right? Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
But have you heard of Cole's law?
Its thinly sliced cabbage and mayonnaise.

Saw this and figured Abyss would probably like it for his cat-meme collection.

Because an ad compain that ignores and diminishes the real life struggle of black Americans isn't something worth complaining about?
Fuck that. The people who really risk their safety to protest and bring attention to real life issues that black Americans face deserve better than to be broken down into some bullshit soda ad.

Pretty sure that ad wasn't just about black people.
The point of the article isn't about those injustices, it's about people getting up in arms about a dumb ad, but where were they when a lot of other - worse - shit was going down?
They'll cry their eyes out and write fierce comments (ooooh, how serious) about Bioware making female characters less hot, but where's the outrage over all the real, terrible things happening?
Gamergate lasted longer than the Occupy movement. Without Googling, how many people (not on here, we're better informed than most) do you think would know who Aylan Kurdi was?
PS - I'm probably almost as bad sometimes. I say "almost" because I generally don't tend to get up in arms over inconsequential shit like the examples in the article. Well, not lately at least.

Except the imagery it was invoking was straight from the Black Lives Matter movement.
You should look at what people like Bernice King (Martin Luther King's daughter) and other prominent African-American voices had to say about the ad before brushing it off as just an overreaction to a dumb ad. It's not a trivial matter.

Loki is absolutely right. The hijacking of the imagery and concepts went beyond copy and paste. They literally dumbed things down to the point of naked tokenism and plugged in a reality TV starlet who had never spoken on any real level about the issues involved in protests of black people being murdered and abused. It was really bad in a way that highlights the entire advertising team's misunderstanding of the people and serious issues involved.

Also, it's possible to care about multiple things at once. Alan Kurdi, the drowned Syrian boy, and the hundreds of thousands of others dead and displaced are cared about by me and many others.
One doesn't have to reserve all one's energy and emotion for the "worst issue".
Most of the criticism directed towards the Pepsi ad was of a moderate manner, fully recognizing that it's an ad and nobody died to make it. There was very little outrage and raw hurt, more like jaded "oh that's what you're gonna steal and distort now" chains of thought.
