Well, apparently he spoke too soon about the ad being completely pulled. From The Advocate's Transphobic Taco Bell Ads Still Running:

    Taco Bell claims a transphobic spot that had LGBT activists riled up last week has been yanked from the air - but the ad is still playing on Los Angeles radio stations as of Sunday, January 24...

    ...An ad airing Sunday morning in Los Angeles on KIIS-FM during Ryan Seacrest's weekly American Top 40 countdown offers a similar punch line.

    In this ad, after a fight between the man and the woman, the woman says, "Well then I don't feel so guilty telling you... [I wasn't born] Martha." The woman's voice then changes to a man's voice, which says, "I'm Marvin."
