It's in poor taste, but that's just my opinion.

I can't believe that there wasn't one person amongst the powers that be in Pepsico didn't see that. Could it be that they were so busy laughing they didn't think??? I wonder if Indra Nooyi would have found the humor in it if they used Indians from Asia and a goat??

I don't understand one bit how this is racist.

Many people are just too sensitive and will play the race card on anything I guess.

I don't think it's overly funny, but I also don't see where it's racist.

Meanwhile, the Kmart "I can ship my pants" commercial is hilarious.

"I JUST SHIPPED MY BED!"
