An ad featuring Ashton Kutcher impersonating a Bollywood producer has been pulled amid ‘outrage’ that it’s racist. Remember folks, in entertainment, it’s all fun and games until someone turns into a hyper-sensitive whiny bitch and cries “racism”. The Daily News says,
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.”
