As the article states this is bullshit and who knows what the person who denied her passport was thinking.

I've met someone whose legal name was Pepsi and she was able to get regular government documents without contacting PepsiCo.

It's unfortunate this mom had to go to a lawyer for this crap.

I love you too, Pepsi.
