Boycott Pepsi for breaking their deal with rapper Ludacris

Petition published by Lisa on Aug 31, 2002
Target: Pepsi Cola

Petition Background (Preamble):

I'm sure by now, most of you have heard about Pepsi Cola breaking their deal with rapper Ludacris as a spokesperson for their company, and products. The decision to hire Ludacris to endorse their products was made to target Pepsi ads to a more "urban-ethnic" audience.

Well, it seems as though conservative commentator, Bill O'Reilly felt that Ludacris the rapper is too much of a bad influence on the "poor" community because of his lyrics, and Pepsi has since fired Ludacris as a promoter of their products.

Obviously, Pepsi had to be aware of the music, lyrics and, achievements (hit singles, albums, awards) of Ludacris, or they would not have hired him as a spokesperson.

If you share in this outrage in Pepsi's decision to stop using Ludacris as a Pepsi Endorser- Sign this petition, and Call their national headquarters at (914) 253-2000, press the option for Consumer Relations, and leave your complaint.

Petition:

We, the undersigned, agree that Pepsi's decision to stop using Ludacris as a Pepsi spokesperson is unfair, and ridiculous. Pepsi knew of the type of music that Ludacris performs, and should not remove him as a voice for ethnic audiences.
