Right wing nutjobs like Michelle Malkin have been campaigning to get Dunkin Donuts to remove a keffiyeh in an ad.
You see, there is no way that piece of clothing can be seen in America. Donuts taste bad when that piece of cltohing is there. But, you propably don't know what this is all about, right?
Here is what she wrote:
Sigh. You all know I’ve been a fan of Dunkin Donuts for quite some time–and have touted their strong position in favor of immigration enforcement.
Charles Johnson notes, and many readers have e-mailed about, Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachel Ray’s clueless sporting of a jihadi chic keffiyeh in a recent DD ad campaign. I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology.
Is Ray’s blunder worth boycotting DD over?
More after the flip
I saw this at Crooksandliars.com:
I think one picture truly tells more than thousand words.
So, this whole thing is pretty stupid, right?
No, she wasn't the onlyone:
I didn’t believe this story when people first started emailing about it; but sure enough, its true. Dunkin Donuts, the venerable old fried dough seller, is the latest American firm to casually promote the symbol of Palestinian terrorism and the intifada, the kaffiyeh, via Rachael Ray: Dunkin’ Breakfast Choices.
Pam Keller:
Have you seen Rachel Ray wearing the icon of Yasser Arfatbastard and the bloody Islamic jihad. This is part of the cultural jihad.
So this is really silly. But no, now Dunkin Donuts changed their mind:
Dunkin' Donuts Consumer Response to Rachael Ray Advertisement
Thank you for taking the time to contact Dunkin' Donuts regarding your
concerns about the Rachael Ray advertisement. In the ad that you reference,
Rachael is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design that was purchased at a U.S. retail store. It was selected by the stylist for the advertising shoot.
Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of
misperception, we will no longer use the commercial.
WOW!!
And, i clearly don't understand this, but maybe one you you can explain this whole thing to me. What the hell just happened?
EDIT:
God dammit, i call for a boycot. Indiana Jones wears a Keffiyeh in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". I demand Spielberg remove that footage. Hey, he did ruin ET, why not "enhance" Indy /Snark
EDIT II:
This is just horrible:
