Online Petition Against Pepsi

[jojapeach]

I'm sure you all have heard about Ludacris being fired as a Pepsi spokesperson. Well, there are a lot of people upset by Pepsi's abrupt firing after being influenced by Bill O'Reilly moreso than Ludacris being fired. I see it as a possible precedent of no respect for "urban" dollars because they never consulted us after O'Reilly's rantings.

Here is a small article from the EUR (Electronic Urban Report) and a link to the petition. FYI, most radio stations get their urban news from this newsletter. http://www.eurweb.com BTW, I've already signed.



PEPSI'S FIRING OF LUDACRIS PROMPTS PETITION
E-blacksingles.net CEO is out to make a point to soft drink maker.

*This online petition thing is starting to catch on. First the
"anti-Ashanti" petition, now e-blacksingles.net's CEO, S. Nicole
Williams has started a petition called "For A Public Apology from
Pepsi."
The petition is in response to rapper Ludacris being dumped
by soda company (08-29-02 EUR) because of pressure from
conservative broadcaster Bill O'Reilly.
Williams states the goal is to collect 1.5 million names and
comments that will undoubtedly show Pepsi, who has the buying
power and who they should really listen to.
"So what, if Bill O'Reilly never drinks Pepsi, point is, who is
he to talk on behalf of African Americans and who gives him the
right to 'define' who America is. Fox find you another 'Devil in
a Blue Dress' or shall we say neck tie?"

letter to Pepsi, go here:

No matter what your position is on the Pepsi/Ludacris
controversy, Williams reminds us that "A closed mouth,
will never be heard!" Bill O'Reilly couldn't have said it better.
