...The Hell Does This Have To Do With Chips?
There must be some kind of mind-altering chemical in Popchips, because they somehow decided that a good way to spend their marketing budget is to make some dumbass viral starring human douche bottle Ashton Kutcher as a bunch of characters including an Indian dude (complete with brownface and Mike Myers' Love Guru accent), a British hippie type and an albino vampire I know isn't supposed to be Kunty Karl. This shit is not only a mess, but Ashton's brownface is offending lots and lots and lots of people. A spokeswhore for Popchips tells The Hollywood Reporter that they aren't trying to offend and they love snackers of all races ( <-- THE FUCK?):
"The new popchips worldwide dating video and ad campaign featuring four characters was created to provoke a few laughs and was never intended to stereotype or offend anyone. At popchips we embrace all types of shapes, flavors and colors, and appreciate all snackers, no matter their race or ethnicity. We hope people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended."
Let me try to put this as eloquently as I can... Fuck Popchips for tasting like freeze dried Styrofoam popcorn. Fuck this ad for being this ad and having Ashton Kutcher in it. Fuck Ashton Kutcher for being Ashton Kutcher and for thinking he can duplicate the Death Eaters glamour of Kunty Karl. And fuck that adorable chihuahua for using its extra long tongue to lick on that nasty ass Popchip.

Oh Kunty Karl. I was looking around all day at work for some t-shirt I needed and all that was listed under description was "zombie black". Turns out it was a lagerfeld t-shirt with Uncle Karl's face on it.

I can't watch the video at work, so I don't know how offensive the "Indian" character is/isn't, but if Ashton were in blackface doing a "gangsta" accent, would that be considered acceptable for even a minute?
==============================================
I think it's not the same same thing, Blackface has historic connotation to it in North America, when you see Blackface it conjures up the old pickaninny minstrel shows and Jim Crowe. There is no "brownface" equal to that in NA. If historically brownface was done in NA to put down indians then you'd be right, It would be offensive but it doesn't have the same meaning in America, perhaps in Britain though.
JMO anyway
While I am no fan of Kutcher's, I do not understand the sympathy for Demi Moore. She strikes me as a vain, insufferable stage 5 clinger who cannot accept the natural, and I repeat NATURAL aging process.
There has and always will be something wrong with that woman. Fuck, if I had to give someone affirmations on their youth and beauty every day, I'd go mad. Sure, he married an older woman, BUT I don't think she was as nutty at the beginning with him. I think she got obsessed with her looks, the age difference and he got tired of the needy crap.
Men HATE women who reek of desperation and who cannot have lives outside of their relationship with their man. I firmly believe she drove him away with her obsessive youth oriented schtick, and that is on her, not him.
The Beaver, I can give you some excuses. Feel free to choose one, two, or all.
1. You just woke up.
2. You haven't had coffee yet, or in a while.
3. Your boss or co-workers are annoying you.
4. It is Thursday.
5. You haven't had any chocolate today, or in a while.
6. You're not feeling well, therefore not in your right frame of mind.
7. You're tired.

What in the praying mantis crackhooker hell is this?! - MK 9/09
Can someone please pay him to go away! I never watch anything of his, or any of his shows (since That 70's show). I stopped watching 2 and a Half Men a couple years ago when it went downhill. Yet somehow his smarmy face keeps popping up all over the place. Ugh.
1.) I think Asston is one of the biggest douche bag on the face of either and I completely echo the sentiments of an earlier poster who wants to know who the trick is that's trying to make him happen....
2.) I'm utterly, completely confused to WHY the fuck I thought this was funny in a few parts. I'm going to go have a long talk with myself in the mirror.
nunya_bizness, I agree. He was an immature little boy when she met him and married him. Did she really think he was ever going to change? He is a 34 year old frat boy and always will be. I guess he thinks that works for him. She never should have married him. He is good for a roll in the hay, maybe, but not for spending the rest of your life with.

He can not act his way out of a wet paper bag. If we are lucky, they will drop him from the Steve Jobs biopic. I can't believe Demi Moore lost her shit over this insufferable tool.

LOL. The whole Popchips site is written like that (but in annoying lowercase). They seem to be pretty frank about what's in their chips (but who knows?).

"That's an awfully high horse sir, may I pet him?"
Racist? I don't think so.
I was at a C-store last week chatting with the Middle Eastern owner. He had a sense of humor. Although he spoke with very little accent, he broke out into a Middle Eastern dialect while referencing and making fun of other C-store owners. It sounded much like Whamo's dialect below.
I fucking died laughing.

As opposed to some OTHER websites, the people here can actually see some humor in this, rather than flying off the handle, shouting "RACIST OFFENSIVE RACIST!"
Personally, I thought it was fine. Ill-advised, but not mean-spirited.
And I thought the apology (there was a differently-worded one I read elsewhere) was pretty good. It wasn't in that passive voice where someone goes "I'm sorry you were offended".
ETA: I don't like PopChips anyway. The seasoning on the flavors I tried was strangely aggressive. Wayyy too much. Plain old popcorn is better.
If thats the case, one major offender is tan Mom from NJ. She looks like she was passing off as Indian too.

I think Ashton is really cute and goofy. I just don't believe he should be any type of celebrity. If he was a civilian, I would totally hit that and not think twice about it.
It wasn't the worst I've seen him do. I hate this guy with a passion and was really hoping he would drop off the planet once That 70's Show went off the air. How is it that the girl who played Donna is in that shit show Chelsea and this asshat is everywhere?
I wasn't THAT bad, I have seen worse. I don't know WTF, his Kelso character bugged me more.
I always get a kick out of East Indian accents.

Uh, no. We all thought he was a douche long before he even met Demi.
Exhibit A: he became famous not because of any talent or appeal, but because of "Punk'd."

Most people have always thought he was an asshat. He's just in the news more now than before he married Demi.
If you don't like people gossiping about celebrities, don't go on a gossip site.
----------------------------------------------------
My obsessive fascination is in your imagination.
I don't understand why suddenly everyone thinks he's a douche. What? Just because his marriage broke up? Seriously - you hear more shit about him than Charlie Sheen. People have their heads up their asses. This commercial was funny. End of.
Why must everyone be so offended by EVERYTHING??!!
If it weren't Doucheface doing the commercial (why is this guy EVERYWHERE, by the way) I would like it. It wasn't awful. The Indian guy was not good but the others weren't bad. AND POPCHIPS RULE!!
Lighten the fuck up everyone.
duplicate - sorry
Ashton will do anything. Ate that Popchip after the doggie licked it! Haha! Love potato chips.
Ashton could be a good actor, but immature. Looks like a permanent condition for him, especially inheriting Charlie Sheen's mantle. He is handsome, but the douche kills it. I am going to look for those chips and will not be sharing with doggie!
It makes sense really. Popchips are tasteless, and so are Ashton Kutcher fans. It's all polystyrene to me.
I REALLY WISH THIS ASSHOLE WOULD SHUT HIS TRAP, AND GO AWAY FOREVER. I MEAN HONESTLY, DOESN'T THIS DICK HEAD HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO??
I for one find it funny. End of it.
He is a complete douchebag. Don't see how the Indian guy is any more racist or unfunny then any of the other characters. How does someone with so little talent (if any) continue to find work???

He is incredibly bad at doing accents. Horrific really.
btw, I love Pop chips because they are nice and crunchy without being greasy like normal chips.
These chips aren't made with Olestra. TJ's has a product called "Popped Chips" that's very similar and cheaper.
Why is the ad racist? Is Meryl Streep being racist when she plays a Brit (German, Dane, etc.)? As MK intimates, where was the global outrage at The Guru (I mean, aside from movie reviewers)? Why aren't rednecks, gays, and British hippies all complaining?

Please: It's "rahnday."
Ashton Kutcher could die in his sleep tonight and I would be OK with it. He is a lowest common denominator type of celebrity and I've never seen the appeal.
"At popchips we embrace all types of shapes, flavors and colors, and appreciate all snackers, no matter their race or ethnicity. We hope people can enjoy this in the spirit it was intended."
DRAFT BEFORE MARKETING TEAM GOT TO IT:
At popchips we embrace money, and appreciate ourselves, and we are pretty much the same race or ethnicity here. We don't give a shit whether you enjoy this or in what spirit it was intended.
"Voodoo is forgetting who's the john and who's the whore." MK, 3/20/12
It's fitting that Popchips used Kutcher in their ad. He's like a preview of the "anal leakeage" one can expect after eating that Olestra-laden junk.
clearly alllll alone on this one but i have no problem with ashton kutcher...i will freely admit i haven't seen a whole lot of him. but kelso has always seemed like kelso to me. and i dont hate kelso. why does everyone hate kelso?
I too appreciate all snackers.
Submitted by salacious on Wed, 05/02/2012 - 11:15pm.
If there is one thing to look forward to is that he could get so much bad publicity from this ad that it might become the bomb that kills his shitty stint on "Two and a Half Men".
☆☆☆☆
Around the time Charlie was tigerbleeding out, I read somewhere that it was fucking with the producers' hopes to have a 10-season package for DVD release and syndication. Not that this shit isn't syndicated out the ass as it is, but they're hemorrhaging out the cash to get there. I'm sure the other shows Lorre produces are costing some big bucks, too, so Two& a Half Men won't go beyond another season.
how about YOU deal with the fact that we don't think Ashton is cute.
