Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.


Critics who fueled online complaints about the ad in blogs say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The kaffiyeh, Malkin wrote in a column posted online last Friday, "has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos,
it gets harder and harder to sympathise with these morons when things go wrong.............

I could hardly believe (http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-05-29-rachael-ray-dunkin-donuts_N.htm?csp=34)

its really is stupid. when i first saw the picture, i did not even recognise the scarf pattern until they put a pic of Arafat next to it. heck, i did not even pay attention to the scarf in the first place. stupid.

Yah Sah Falcon, I have to agree with you here! However, are those heliconia flowers I see imprinted on Ms Ray's scarf?

Malkin, in a posting following up on last week's column, said of Dunkin's decision to pull the ad, "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists."
hahahahahaha :lol:

For Pete's sake, it's not like the woman was selling the scarfs, she selling donuts; now thanks to those idiots everyone wants to see the ad just to see the scarf; and 'they' dont' want terrorism promoted :roll:

O.K. people....... don't think of a green horse :roll:

How do you know all of this wasn't just a smart marketing ploy to promote the video and hence, Dunkin' Donuts? Those marketing folks are pretty tricky you know.
