  • I don't see anything wrong with this! What difference does it make that, Jesus is black or white? He just is!

  • If I understand it correclty, the black man isn't Jesus, but Saint Martin de Porres, although some people thought he was a black version of Jesus. But people were apparently also offended by the music video's use of Catholic iconography and the stigmata and cross burning scenes.

  • i dont see why this was banned unless it was for racial or religious reasons

  • Pepsi themselves pulled it after only two airings when they saw the complete music video for Like a prayer, indeed because they wanted to dissociate themselves from the controversy the video had created with its religious and racial content. So it was actually more of a self-ban.

  • Nowadays this commercial wouldn't be banned for shit. Wow, how much has changed in 20 years... Thanks to Madonna. If I were to see this on T.V. I would not see a single thing wrong with it.

  • i love and adore madonna she is an iconic idol for ever and ever

  • i nevaaw no Jesus

  • Pe "25 ianuarie 1989,madonna semneaza un contract de 5 milioane de dolari pentru o reclama de 2 minute la Pepsi,care include si o sponsorizare din partea firmei Pepsi pentru urmatorul ei turneu.".....

  • I remember this "controversy" like it was yesterday. The right wing nutbags went nuts over this commercial. And still to this day I don't know why. By today's standard, this video is safe for airing during Sesame Street. I guess they just need something to bitch about. Otherwise, they are seen for what they really are. And that is a bunch of useless fear mongers who want to take your rights away so they can do as they please(see 2001-2008 for proof).

  • Just for the taste of it...
