In the wake of Charles Barkley's DUI arrest, T-Mobile has decided to pull the television campaign featuring Sir Charles, which had been considered very successful. Most recently the campaign had been featuring Barkley and Dwyane Wade in T-Mobile's "Fave 5 program," which landed in Time magazine's Top 10 ads of 2008.
Barkley, a NBA analyst for TNT Sports, has taken a leave of absence from the network for an undetermined length of time.
