The ad was criticized for trivializing protests and social justice movements, and was quickly pulled from the airwaves.
Nivea's "White is Purity" Ad (2017) - Nivea released an ad that featured a woman in a white robe with the tagline "White is Purity." The ad was criticized for being racially insensitive and promoting white supremacy, and was quickly pulled after backlash on social media.
Mountain Dew's Tyler the Creator Ad (2013) - This ad featured a battered woman trying to identify her attacker from a lineup of black men and a goat. The ad was criticized for being racist and promoting violence against women, and was quickly taken off the air.
Snickers' Mr. T Ad (2008) - This ad featured Mr. T throwing Snickers bars at a speed walker, calling him a "disgrace to the man race." The ad was criticized for being homophobic and promoting bullying, and was quickly pulled from the airwaves.
