Apparently, a bunch of uptight, looking-for-problems-where-none-actually-exist people, led by commentator Michelle Malkin, whined to Dunkin’ Donuts that the paisley scarf Rachael Ray is wearing in the above advertisement gives the impression the chain is supporting Muslim terrorists.
It’s too warm to wear a turtleneck to disguise the fact Rachael Ray has no neck. Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. And, sometimes, people should stop bitching just to bitch. And, sometimes, giant retail chains shouldn’t cave in to ridiculous people lodging ridiculous complaints.
Then again, maybe Dunkin’ Donuts ad execs are slapping their foreheads in shock: “I never expected people to figure out our secret symbolic show of support for Muslim terrorists!”
UPDATE: A picture showing the scarf to better terroristic advantage! And a fancy Elvisian lip curl.

The best part is that the kaffiyeh isn’t even a symbol of extremism; it’s just a common garment that Yasser Arafat (among millions of others) happened to enjoy wearing. Are we also planning on making a big deal every time somebody has a mustache that looks similar to Stalin’s? Or how about every time somebody wears a hat that looks like Fidel Castro’s? I’ve seen plenty of teenagers wearing T-shirts with Che Guevara’s face… do we complain about that?
I’m sure the scarf is just a coincidence and it was a completely random pick out of the hundreds of types of scarfs Ray and DD employees are known to wear. And Terrorist who murder hundreds of people while wearing the same pattern scarf is also just a fashion coincidence. Ray looking more middle eastern ethnic than usual is also just happenstance….then again
I completely agree with you, Superficial! People are going on a witch hunt, and it’s sickening, not to mention stupid!
Michelle Malkin is a fucking idiot.
That cunt Michelle Malkin needs to get a dirty bomb dropped on her face, if you know what I mean. Ha!
