Pepsi issue statement on Beenie Man gay throat-cutting fiasco

A welcome update from 365Gay.com with regard to Pepsi's Beeniegate disaster. 365Gay reporter Jennifer Vanasco emailed Pepsi and got a response from them distancing themselves from the whole affair. Shock, horror, mumble, mumble, it was our local bottlers wot did it, mumble, mumble, nobody knew... Get the full apology here.

Note that Vanasco only speaks of an email reply. As of this writing, the clarification does not appear to have made it to Pepsi's web site — at least I couldn't find it amongst their press releases. Despite visiting their Flash-intensive website four times (twice in Safari: crashed each time; once in Internet Explorer 8: crashed; once in Google Chrome: sailed through with flying colours), I couldn't find anything about it.
