A commercial starring Aston Kutcher has been pulled from the Internet following backlash from viewers over its 'racist' content.

The 34-year-old appeared in the commercial for Popchips as an Indian man 'looking for love' in a dating ad-style spoof.

One viewer tweeted in response: 'Did I just see Ashton Kutcher in Brownface, for some popchips? Seriously, Advertisers…What the *expletive* were you thinking??'

And cut! An online ad featuring Ashton Kutcher in a parody role as n Indian man has been pulled following complaints from viewers

Interesting outfit: The makers of the advert were criticised for the stereotypical appearance adopted by the actor

I saw this earlier and seriously people need to lighten up. He did spoofs of other people for the same ad.

Coolies think thay are funny people, but they have no sense of humor. Look at those Bollywood comedies. Wonder what they think of Peter Sellers?
