Will FLAP at PepsiCo’s Middle Finger Speech Blow Over?

Flap reported on this moronic speech by the President of PepsiCo yesterday. Read it here.

Hugh Hewitt now thinks that the MSM and the PR hacks at PepsiCo corporate have dismissed the outrage and will allow it to blow over:

The Yahoo message board for Pepsico is not happy with the company’s ineffective response to consumer anger with COO’s Nooyi’s “America is the middle finger” speech. Michelle Malkin brands Pepsi the “new Eason,” and provides a round-up of links. No mention of the consumer anger at Pepsi for its COO’s analogy or displeasure with the non-apology apology in MSM, so the story may seem to PR types at Pepsico to be passing. So it seemed to Eason Jordan. Those Pr types might want to have a look at this, and at this.

Powerline’s Scott Johnson urges Pepsico to read an earlier speech by Ms. Nooyi and take her advice. But my guess is they will stay in the bunker, hoping against all evidence that no one will change their consumption patterns because of a silly speech by the previously unknown COO. Another day will be lost, and then the impression will be firmly fixed that Pepsico is indifferent to the outrage generated by Nooyi’s “middle finger” speech and non-apology apology.

Somehow I don’t think this will blow over quite so easily and as quickly as the folks in the PepsiCo board room think.
