Conservablogger Power Quote

"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security..."

WATCH: THIS PEPSI COMMERCIAL WAS PULLED FOR BEING INSENSATIVE AND OFFENSIVE

Tyler, the Creator's new Mountain Dew ad has been pulled. The 60-second commercial has been decried as perpetuating racial stereotypes while trivializing violence against women.

Really?

Conservablogger comment: I can show you movie after movie that does both these things. Comedians often tell racially insensitive jokes that use stereotypes as punchlines, but the jokes are funny so they get a pass, right? Some people take themselves too seriously, and this commercial shouldn't have been pulled.
