lauraanne_gilmanDunkin' Donuts yanks Rachael Ray ad
May 27, 2008
Does Dunkin’ Donuts really think its customers could mistake Rachael Ray for a terrorist sympathizer? The Canton-based company has abruptly canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.
Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.

Oh hell. Does this mean I have to support RayRay now? Because, damn.
(guys? That's a fringed paisley scarf worn around her neck. It's not a keffiyeh, and even if it were, WTF? The thought of RayRay wearing one while shilling Dunkin Donuts is probably enough to make jihadists scream in fury and hop up and down in impotent rage.... you should be encouraging her!)
Shame on Dunkin Donuts for melting like a Krispy Kreme under such idiotic pressure.
