Arrests for domestic violence never go over well with sponsors! As expected, Hanes has pulled their commercials for the Comfortsoft line of undershirts featuring the lovable Charlie Sheen.
The ads were supposed stop airing in 2010, but due to his spousal knife-pointing, they were taken off early.
“We suspended the commercials on Dec. 28,” said Hanes spokesman Matthew Hall. “Some were seen on the 25th, 26th, 27th as we could not reach the networks over the holiday weekend.”
Charlie’s contract ends this year, but as you can imagine, no other spots are planned.
“We do have a print ad in some trade publications using Mr. Sheen that are scheduled to run this spring,” continued Hall. And due to publishing schedules, those ads could not be changed.
Maybe they’ll sell a lot of wife beaters this year!
