  • Pepsi's Advertisement

    Just want to share my thought with you all after reading all those blogs/vlogs about "Bob's House," and letters from NAD and AGBAD.

    I applaud Pepsi for using the deaf joke with deaf actors for the Super Bowl commercial.  However, since then, I have not seen that advertisement on TV.  I have seen others, such as Gatorade G2, Budweiser, Career Builder, etc., used during the Super Bowl, but not this one.  Have you noticed that Pepsi has not advertised "Bob's House" since Super Bowl?  If I am mistaken, please do let me know.  I will then take this down.

    However, if you all agree that Pepsi has not featured "Bob's House" again, shouldn't Pepsi do that more often?  Should we let Pepsi know how we feel about it?  Why did they show it only once before the Super Bowl and then never again?  Why not feature it often as other advertisements are? 

    Just my perspective

    Hello. Yes, PepsiCo ad - Bob's House - was on TV during PREGAME. That sucks! I know many deaf people expected to see it during Super Bowl game but missed it. I hope that next time PepsiCo do another deaf ad and promote it during Super Bowl game instead of pregame.
    Smile.

    You, Peggy, ought to write a letter of inquiry to the Pepsi Cola's PR unit and ask how come Pepsi's "Bob's House" tv commerical ad to be not aired again on the airwave.

    That make real sense for the Pepsi Cola not to screen "Bob's House" again, because of the Super Bowl theme.

    Pepsi ought to do the ad on various deaf webcasts and pay vloggers and bloggers to post the Pepsi ads. At least, some deaf people could make $$ off the Pepsi ad's "Bob's House", instead of commerical television managers, etc.

    One more thing before I ask you. I meant to ask you if you still keep the Gallaudet's Unity for Gallaudet protest online materials or what? Your blog is really valuable during the UFG protest which I often refer other deaf people to your website.

    I hope that you still keep the UFG online materials like IKJ's fumbled speech. Many deaf people never have any opporunity to view IKJ's speech, etc. You could make $$ off by posting special archives of the UFG protest online materials to help the operating cost of your website. :)

    You should be honored for your part in the "UFG" protest. You richly deserve it in many ways!
