Yikes — Ashton Kutcher and PopChips are being criticized for an ad in which the TV star dons brownface and puts on an exaggerated Indian accent. The video has been taken down — but Kutcher’s character, Raj, lives on in this other PopChips spot.
PopChips CEO Keith Belling posted on the brand’s official site that the ad was intended to be “a light-hearted parody” and that the creative team behind it “did not intend to offend anyone. I take full responsibility and apologize to anyone we offended.”
