But I did spend the day wondering if outrage, defined by the online Merriam Webster Dictionary as “an extremely strong reaction of anger, shock, or indignation,” has become our default shared social value. First there came the famous Kendall Jenner (of the Kardashian family) Pepsi ad, which landed not with a fizz but a thud. Maybe the best way to counteract that ad was simple ridicule not enough outrage to blow it out of the water. He then compounded his idiocy by apparently referring to death camps as “Holocaust centres.”The outrage was justified, but perspective was needed. We will need some of that outrage for more than a Pepsi ad.
