Ashton Kutcher 'brownface' ad pulled
LOS ANGELES ? An online ad featuring Ashton Kutcher as an Indian man has been pulled offline after viewers called it racist.
The images and video for Popchips feature the 34-year-old "Two and a Half Men" star in brown makeup portraying a Bollywood producer named Raj who is "looking for love." They were removed from YouTube and Facebook after being criticized online.
Other videos featuring Kutcher as a stoner, tattooed Southerner and pasty fashionista remain online.
A spokeswoman for Popchips says the dating parody featuring the four characters was "created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone." She added that the company hopes "people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended."

Re: Ashton Kutcher 'brownface' ad pulled
Who are these people that still pitch in a meeting "you know what's a great idea for this? blackface"
And who keeps allowing crap like this to be produced?
Popchips are very tasty, I tried them the other day without any ad to encourage me. now if I had only seen the commercial of Ashton in brownface I would have bought a few more bags. Not really.
ridiculous.
Huge marketing fail.
& who is representing Ashton & why did they think this would be a good idea?
ugh.
I bet Ashton was like "but I do a really good Indian guy impression!!"
Here are the pics.
You know, I've noticed that not even Fred Armisen, who plays Obama on SNL, uses black face. Because seriously, just no.
