Dunkin Donuts' Thai Campaign Controversy
- Chicago Tribune, Tuesday, September 3, 2013 8 AM
A human rights group on Friday criticized a Dunkin' Donuts advertising campaign running in Thailand that features a model whose face is painted black to sell "Charcoal Donut," a chocolate flavored item. The model is wearing blackface makeup and bright pink lipstick. Phil Robertson, deputy director of the Asia division of Human Rights Watch, said it's "rather incredible that an international company like Dunkin' Donuts" would run such an ad."
