RAMROD 105,579 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Context: In January 1989, while the music video was still being filmed, Pepsi-Cola announced that they had signed Madonna for a $5 million deal to feature the singer and "Like a Prayer" for the company's television commercial. Pepsi-Cola Company spokesman Todd MacKenzie said that the advertisement was planned to be aired simultaneously in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America. Christian groups worldwide including the Vatican protested its broadcast and called for a global boycott of Pepsi and its subsidiaries,including KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. Pepsiexplained the differences between their advertisement and Madonna's artistic opinions. Ultimately, Pepsi caved into the protests from hardline Christian groups and canceled the campaign. According to Taraborrelli, Pepsi was so eager to extricate itself from the controversy that it even allowed Madonna to keep the $5 million advance. Pepsi is currently releasing all ads it makes in batches to celebrate its 125th Anniversary (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝒻𝒾𝓃𝒹 𝓂𝑒 𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝐹𝒶𝒾𝓇 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil R 1,084 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The ad is not banned because of its content. It was her "Like a Prayer" video that caused this ad and her sponsorship to be cancelled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Gaga doing “Haus of Gaga Unveiled”. Scrapped projects that were never able to see the light. We would not be able to mentally comprehend the “sliding doors” of Gagas career if she did some of the things she could have. Fame is so fickle, and there is no straight line to the top. I’m not a very spiritual person, but I do believe that Gaga was, and IS destined for legendary superstardom. There are moments in her career that could have careened her into obscurity, and moments that would re-propel her into the stratosphere. It would be fascinating to have a peak into the parallel universe where she did proceed with some projects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
