Out and Equal Workplace

PepsiCo is not only committed to promoting homosexuality within their company, they are compelled to spread this lifestyle to other companies. When they mention strong sponsor they actually mean strong-arm tactics. Per AMA,


In the October 2009 Out and Equal Workplace conference, PepsiCo's vice-president and CIO led the "Use 'em or lose 'em" seminar to teach employees in the art of "leveraging strong sponsor or leader relationships" within companies to embrace homosexuality.

PepsiCo served as judge for the "Outie Awards," a big thank you banquet for those employees that advance homosexual causes in the workplace.

iPhone Application Outrage

An iPhone Pepsi application promised to help men "score" with two dozen stereotypes of women by giving users pickup lines and a scoreboard to keep track of their conquests. The free application has branded the company sexist and they have refused to remove from the iPhone store where it is still available for download. [2] PepsiCo claims they are not sexist because they have a woman CEO. "PepsiCo as a company has a culture that's respectful of women. It's attempting to be edgy and humorous with this app and nothing more."

After a week of complaints, Pepsi has decided to remove its' offensive iPhone app that degraded women. [3]
