At least I'm not the only one

Joel Stein at Time.com offers his take on the Sierra Mist spot here.

He doesn't really address any of the issues that I raised, but does say that Sierra Mist had planned to stop airing the ad as of last Sunday, but that some cable companies are still running it through Tuesday. Hard to say if this is a genuine fact, or a retroactive decision on the part of PepsiCo. Either way, they clearly aren't concerned that the content of the ad is going to spark a large scale outrage among the public.
