In what has been a horrific week in PR for Pepsi, United Airlines and (as usual) Sean Spicer, the internet did what it does best and sat down and had a laugh.
First, let's rewind and get everyone up to speed on the drama.
First, Pepsi put out an ad featuring Kendall Jenner walking through a protest to hand a police officer a can of Pepsi. The internet went crazy, Pepsi pulled the ad. Kendall said she thought the ad was fun.

Then, United Airlines forcibly removed a passenger after they overbooked a flight. BTW, they are hiring a community relations manager if anyone's interested.
Not to be outdone, Spicer got behind his podium and made up his latest "fact" that Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons." He then clarified, "I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing." He clarified again after that saying, "I mistakenly made an inappropriate and insensitive reference to the Holocaust, for which there is no comparison." Did we mention Passover started Monday?
This is all on top of Bill O'Reilly going on "vacation" after more sexual harassment scandals and payoffs have become known.
Now that you're sobbing for humanity, here's the funny reactions that came out of this mess:

Well, yesterday Pepsi was grateful for United, and today United is grateful for Sean Spicer.

Pepsi thanks the United CEO, who thanks Sean Spicer, and Bill O'Reilly's not thanking anyone.
