An online ad featuring Ashton Kutcher as an Indian man have 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's "searching for love." They were far 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 impress a couple of laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone."
She added that the corporate hopes "people can enjoy this within the spirit it was intended."
A spokeswoman for Kutcher hasn't return messages seeking comment.
