Is this suspension month? Michael Phelps – Suspended. Chris Brown – Suspended. Sheesh!
Wrigley’s has suspended Chris Brown’s Doublemint gum commercial until charges filed against him are cleared.
Wrigley’s released a statement that said,
“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.”
It’s good that advertisers are willing to give up celebrities who are not representing the company’s ideals. Kellogg’s dropped Michael Phelps and the US Swimming team suspended him for three months because of his photo scandal. Now, it’s Chris Brown. These celebrities must understand that they are getting paid tons to represent a brand… and if they do not represent the company’s stance (specially with scandals such as these), they should be penalized.
