Pizza Hut Ad Accused of Making Fun of Blind People

(Beijing) -- An Internet commercial for the U.S. restaurant chain Pizza Hut has been accused of discriminating against disabled people.

Pizza Hut recently released the commercial on major video websites in China to promote a new fried shrimp ball snack. The cartoon ad employs a pun on "blind" and "shrimp" as the pronunciations of the two words are similar in Chinese.
