Pepsi's latest campaign advert has been pulled.

The ad, which was protest-themed, received a lot of online backlash, and last night, the brand apologised to its consumers and said that they "clearly missed that mark."

However, after the apology was delivered, social media was none the happier.

Many were confused as to why Pepsi apologised to Kendall, and some were just flat-out unhappy about the whole situation.

Here are some of best the reactions on Twitter:

We all throw around the term 'anxious', but for those living with a chronic anxiety disorder, the feelings run much deeper than cringing after an interview.

General Anxiety Disorder impacts about 1 in 20 adults in Ireland, according to the HSE.

"Feeling anxious is sometimes perfectly normal," says the HSE.  

"However, people with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) find it hard to control their worries."

"Their feelings of anxiety are more constant and often affect their daily life."

The disorder can manifest itself in a number of ways, but Twitter users under the hashtag #ThisIsWhatAnxietyFeelsLike are summing it up pretty well. 

This description of anxiety impacting on the day-to-day lives of people is reflected in the tweets, with some tweeters referring to the feeling as the "buzzing" in their brain that never ceases. 

Some people grow so accustomed to their disorder that they never seek the help they need, as their state of constant panic seems almost normal to them. 

The HSE advises that you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder if your worrying significantly affects your daily life, including your job and social life.

You also may be suffering if your worries are extremely stressful and upsetting you, and you worry about all sorts of things and have a tendency to think the worst in all situations. 

Uncontrollable worrying or feeling worried nearly every day for at least six months are also signs of a problem. 

The hashtag is giving us such a valuable insight into the issue, and if you feel you relate to them on a personal level, you may have a problem too. 

While it is normal to suffer from a bit of anxiety ahead of an exam or interview, it's definitely worth talking to your GP about if you feel that anxiety is impacting your day-to-day life.

If you’ve got your hands on a ticket for this year’s Slane Castle, consider yourself very lucky.

80,000 tickets sold out last December after Guns n’ Roses were announced as this year’s headline act, and today the full line-up is finally here.

Royal Blood, Mark Lanegan and  Otherkin will join the 80s rockers at the legendary Co. Meath venue on May 27.

And of course, Twitter is pretty happy with the latest additions.

 

 

 

We'll be honest, we feel some serious FOMO coming on.

But if you just so happen to have a spare €250 lying around, there are a limited number of VIP tickets still available!

Trump supporters on Twitter are not happy with Tina Fey’s latest comments condemning young white females who voted for the President.

During a star studded live-streamed telethon fundraiser for the American Liberties Union on Saturday the actress and comedian hit out at the demographic.

Making reference to a home improvement channel in the States, she said: ‘’A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV.’’ 

According to The Independent, preliminary exit polls conducted by Edison Research, showed that Donald Trump won 45 per cent of white college-educated women’s votes while Hillary Clinton won 51 per cent.

However, when you take into account all white female voters, both with and without a college degree, Trump came out on top with 53 per cent versus Clinton’s 43 per cent.

Fey went on to urge those young female Trump voters to look at the bigger picture, saying ‘’It doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”

Viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at Tina’s comments with many saying that the star’s comments were harsh and unfair.
 

 

Tina Fey isn’t the only celebrity to criticise white female Republican voters recently.

Girls creator and leading actress, Lena Dunham wrote an essay just days after the election results in which she described her disappointment at the large proportion of white women who chose not to vote for Clinton.

“It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him.”

We've all heard of the classic 'dine and dash', right?

But who knew faking a proposal and chowing down on your (undeserved) congratulatory dessert was a thing?! Well, it is in Texas.

19-year-old Cati and 17-year-old Alex have made waves in the Twitosphere this week when they revealed they schemed their way to a free dessert after Alex 'proposed' to his mate in a high-end restaurant. 

Speaking to BuzzFeed, Cati said: "We just had to act like a couple the entire time. Everyone believed us and everyone clapped."

Cati and Alex are uber-pleased with themselves, and it seems Twitter users are pretty annoyed they didn't think of it first.

With 23,000 retweets and 47,000 likes, the public are all over this one.

"This is honestly so freaking genius," wrote one while another added: "Taking notes, we r so doing this next time we go out." (sic)

And the fake couple aren't stopping any time soon, with Cati adding: "We’re thinking about doing it other places too."

As you would…

If you spent last night tossing and turning, and woke up this morning looking like you'd been on a three-day bender, you're not alone.

While we love the idea of longer evenings and brighter days, the clocks going forward on Saturday night brought with it a whole world of pain as we adjusted to the change, and ultimately found ourselves trundling around in a sleep-deprived fog for most of this morning.

It might have only been 60 minutes, but hell we really needed every one of them.

And so did these people by the sound of things.

Reminding each other that optimism and hope are vital in the days that follow, social media users used Twitter as a platform to express solidarity with one another.

Today, Demi Lovato became the latest celeb to suffer from a security breach.

The singer was targeted by hackers who stole a risqué photo of her and shared it on various porn sites around the web.

However, the 24-year-old has spoken out on Twitter, and she seems to be laughing off the whole scandal.

Taking to Twitter, Demi said: "I love how everyone's freaking out about one picture. It's not nude and it's just cleavage."

She followed that with another tweet: "Besides the world has seen me nude BY CHOICE before… #vanityfair #cleavagegameonpoint #myboobsarenteventhatbig #angles."

This isn't the first time the former Disney star has been targeted by hackers. In 2014, naked pictures of her were shared online, as well as ones with her former boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama.

Realistically if you are a woman who exists in society, you have probably had something mansplained to you at some point.

In case you didn't know there was a term for this sexist phenomenon, mansplaining is when a man speaks "condescendingly to a woman about a topic he believes her to be ignorant of, when in fact his own knowledge of the subject is materially incomplete," according to Urban Dictionary.

Image result for eye roll

The possibility that she may know more about the subject than he does is something that the mansplainer simply cannot compute. 

The women of Twitter are currently sharing their horror stories with mansplaining, and some of the tales are making us pretty mad. 

10. If there is one thing worse than mansplaining, it has to be catcalling.

9. Just because menstruation has the word men in it, doesn't make them experts.

8. You would not get away with that in Ireland, that's for sure. 

7. This is just insulting. 

6. Those of us with unique names relate…

5. Don't try to school an expert fellas…

4. Is nothing sacred?  

3. Because pregnancy is definitely an area of expertise for men.  

2. It even happens at work. 

1.  Those who are not on the receiving end of sexism probably shouldn't try to explain it to those who are.

When Isabella Villegas heard that her 13-year-old sister had felt compelled to change her shirt after teachers made remarks over her choice of clothing, the 18-year-old made a T-shirt for her sibling to wear if she ever finds herself in that situation again.

And Twitter is now begging the Isabella to print more so they too can get their hands on one.

Speaking to BuzzFeed, 13-year-old Grace Villegas explained that after choosing to wear an off-the-shoulder blouse to school, she felt pressure from teachers to swap her new top for an alternative one.

"Instantly, I was like, 'Okay, I'm going to get dress-coded,' and I felt the need to change," Grace explained.

Furious that her younger sister was subject to judgement, Isabella made Grace a T-shirt to keep in her locker if she ever feels pressure to conform again.

And the message emblazoned across the plain white shirt has struck a serious chord with Twitter users in recent days.

"Dress Code: Promotes the objectification and sexualization of young bodies, blames the wearer for the onlooker's perceptions/actions, perpetuates rape culture, is B.S." it reads.

After the post racked up thousands of likes, queries into the availability of the shirt began pouring in, with one Twitter user writing: "Are you selling these on etsy yet??"

"If you started printing shirts with this on it, I'd for real buy one," added another.

Due to popular demand, Isabella decided to go ahead and make more shirts, telling the Twitosphere; "We are gonna start printing shirts!! anyone who wants one DM me so i can get an idea of how many to order!"

And that's how it's done.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has received global recognition for his speech about Irish immigration in Washington.

Using the annual St Patrick's day visit to discuss the contribution of the Irish community in the US, the Taoiseach used the shamrock ceremony speech to “lecture” President Trump on immigration.

"Four decades before Lady Liberty lifted her lamp we were the wretched refuse on the teeming shore.

"We believed in the shelter of America, in the compassion of America, in the opportunity of America. We came and became Americans," he said, as Trump looked on.

Now, Twitter is full of praise for Enda's speech from people from all over the world, but some Irish folk are claiming that the praise is misguided. 

"Do you know how Ireland treats asylum seekers? it's a system called "direct provision" and it's brutal, worse than you can imagine," said one, referring to the short-term accommodation that asylum seekers live in in Ireland. 

Others found it hypocritical that Enda would refer to people leaving their countries due to a lack of liberty, while some feel that Irish women are currently being deprived of their reproductive rights due to the 8th amendment to the constitution.

The 8th amendment, which has come under much opposition in recent years thanks to the work of The Abortion Rights Campaign and the Repeal project, means that Irish women face up to 14 years in prison for obtaining an abortion, and must flee the country to procure these services safely. 

However, the majority of people feel that the Taoiseach's speech was a subtle burn directed toward's the POTUS and his travel ban.

"I don't like Enda Kenny and I doubt I ever will, but the speech he made was brave and respectable," said one.
