If this person thinks we're all so stupid to fall for this, then Pepsi needs a wake up call. I bought a bottle last night; it's my last one.
mebbe when her apologies approach those of the president of harvard, we'll listen. but for now, i don't do pepsi.

This link has the full text of her speech.
Right, she still hasn't release the transcript.
Coke sure is tasting better all the time.
I think she's especially fond of her middle finger.....
How does such a fool become President and CFO of Pepsi? Does this mean that I'm being patriotic when I give her the finger?
How bout' a Fresca!
To say nothing of the most rudimentary of biological knowlege.
I assume every knows that the opposable thumb is the main and unique feature of the human hand; and hence the most important finger. Without it, the hand is useless.

She stole that from an old 1970's Coke commercial.
"I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony."
Pardon me while I go vomit.
Well, Indra and Pepsi gets my well deserved middle finger!
Damn, damn, damn! Diet Pepsi's my drink. I'm gonna miss it.
yeah yeah , FReeper with the NASCAR ping , Pepsi needs dumpin'
Riiiiiiiight! And when I told the guy who cut me off in traffic to F*&% off, I was simply wishing him a full and satisfying sex life.
In addition to the anti-American tone of the speech, its fingers-of-the-hand metaphor is so lame as to be risible, more worthy of Saturday Night Live than a prominent business executive. Even her prime example of American-boorishness-that-alienates-the-world was so shallow as to provoke doubt over whether the woman has a lick of sense.
So what if a group of Americans in a bar talk among themselves and deride Chinese restrooms and hygiene as grossly inadequate and unsanitary? The Chinese themselves acknowledge as much. The Chinese are hostile to America because they want to rise in wealth and power for their own sake, not to punish Americans for criticisms of their public restrooms.
With a dolt as CFO, it is time to short Pepsi stock.
I never could stomach Pepsi(toooo sweet) and quit Coke when they almost broke their own necks trying to get back into Vietnam. not to mention the concessions to the swindling race-baiter known as jesse jackson.
So I've been drinking RC for years now-it also mixes with Jim Beam better than either one of the above
I don't know..she's a poor speaker (obviously) and was trying to get some laughs by condescending an audience of college graduates. This is getting a little ridiculous.
In the hotel’s bar, the woman overheard a group of five American businessmen loudly making fun of the hotel’s lavatory facilities. As the drinks flowed, the crass and vulgar comments grew louder, and actually took on an angry, jingoistic tone.
While these Americans couldn’t speak a word of Chinese, their Chinese hosts spoke English very well … and understood every word the men were saying. And we wonder why the world views many Americans as boorish and culturally insensitive. This incident should make it abundantly clear. These men were not giving China a hand. They were giving China the finger.
This finger was red, white and blue and had “the United States” stamped all over it. Graduates, it pains me greatly that this view of America persists.
She should tell the one about the screechy woman from India who came to the United States and achieved great success, only to turn around and obnoxiously criticize the nation that welcomed her and made her and her family wealthy beyond her imagination.
Oh wait, it’s only rude if an American has something negative to say about another nation.
My middle finger is extended in your direction Indra. You figure out if I mean it as a compliment.
Red the transcript. She meant the way that her critics figured it. If she really wanted to demonstrate the US, the thumb would have been better. Without the thumb the only thing people can do is carry a bucket and pick their nose. She picked the middle finger as a slam on us. No more no less. No Pepsi for me.
