Sorry! Okay, now can someone explain to me what is so offensive about this to Harpy and her shrieking followers?

Hmmm.

It could be seen as irreverent, since it’s showing Doritos being substituted for the Host—albeit, apparently in a church that probably does not subscribe to literal transubstantiation.

It was made to appeal to a predominantly Christian audience.

Pam’s ire is based on the idea that it’s mocking Christianity, and that Pepsi wouldn’t dare do something similar involving Islam.

The fact that most of the audience wouldn’t get the joke if it were, since most Americans are more familiar with Christianity than Islam, or that such an ad would have far less general appeal, doesn’t factor in to Pam’s calculations.
