Pepsi pulls controversial ad featuring Kendall Jenner

Pepsi has pulled a controversial commercial that has been criticised for trivialising protests and unrest in the United States.
    
The advertisement, featuring Kim Kardashian's little sister, Kendall Jenner, has been accused of undermining the Black Lives Matter movement.
    
In it, Kendall leaves a photo-shoot to join protesters calling for love and peace, before handing a drink of pepsi to a police officer as a peace offering.
    
The officer cracks a smile and the crowd cheers.
    
Critics think the ad is based on recent protests regarding police brutality against black people in America.
    
It is been criticised for painting a privileged, white super model as a peacemaker between civil rights activists and police.
    
In 1971, Coca-Cola made a similar ad based on the Vietnam War.
