T-Mobile Blows Off Charles Barkley

Charles BarkleyCharles Barkley must really be choking on his words now -- because T-Mobile is discontinuing its Sir Charles commercials due to his infamous DUI-for-the-sake-of-oral-sex fiasco.

A spokesperson for T-Mobile -- which features Barkley in its Fave 5 ads -- said: "Given the recent developments, for the time being, we've replaced TV ads featuring Mr. Barkley with more general-market advertising. As he works through his personal matters, we will evaluate where to go from here."

NOTE TO CHARLES: When cops tell you "everything you say can and will be held against you" -- that's a fancy way of saying "it's best if you shut your mouth."

Hey Kiya, Is being in the spotlight and being well known really a blessing? I agree that he has been blessed but only in having extraordinary basketball skills at one time. There are two ways to be in well known that's famously or infamously, bur neither should command your respect, only the true character of a man should

Unless you are in the business of selling GloryHole Booths, there isnt a company around that would want their brand associated with this nut now. He was kind of funny with his off the wall humor and out there behaviour before, but when it gets as weird as it did with his very public and self revealing bust, it isnt so funny if you're trying to do do business.

Stay in Alabama for awhile and chill---regroup with your family, friends and whatever priorities you might or might not have.

But business wise----no reputable company, service, or organization will want your name with theirs. Not unless it involves good oral sex.

Just like I thought. Every since Charles opened his pie hole about Clemson not hiring a black coach he has been going backwards. He thinks he is superman. He is just a loud mouth that got a big head cuz he is a basketball commentator....Another Shaun Salsbury.......

Please, . How shocked can they be? T Moblie knew exactly what they were getting with Barkley I think that the adds were not that successful given the cost and T Moble is trying to get out of a less-than-successful add campaigh.

WTF:  1125 days ago

T-Moblie is getting a LOT of mileage out of denouncing their relationship with him. 1200+ news stories (google news) and counting not to mention TV & radio. Who's using who?

QE2 is right. They knew what they were getting into. AS IF they didn't consider that the odds of a fkup were in their publicity favor.

PR101 folks.

Why would TMobile do that? He probably uses them to set up oral sex "appointments".
