Dunkin Donuts Jihads Rachel Ray Ad
May 27th, 2008, 8:21pm
 
My wife just showed this to me and she's livid. She almost tried getting me to stop drinking coffee
 
Dunkin' Donuts yanks Rachael Ray ad
 

 
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.
 
‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
 
‘‘Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.’’
 
The company at first pooh-poohed the complaints, claiming the black-and-white wrap was not a keffiyeh. But the right-wing drumbeat on the blogosphere continued and by yesterday, Dunkin’ Donuts decided it’d be easier just to yank the ad.
 
Said the suits in a statement: ‘‘In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.’’
 
(In case you’re wondering, the stylist who selected the offending scarf was not Gretta Enterprises boss Gretchen Monahan, who appears on Ray’s TV show as a style consultant.)
 
For her part, Malkin was pleased with Dunkin’s response: ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’

Yep... she could serve me a bowl of cold cereal with warm tap water as long as she showed some leg while doing so!

Now that's my complaint right there. She wears jeans. I see no leg.

I like Rachel Ray, in small doses. One thing she is not to me is sexy, but I can see how others might think so.  
 
Michelle Malkin is looking pretty desperate here.

MIchelle Malkin has a mouth that deserves a hook for sure...
 

 
My wife watches the Food Network all the time...
Rachael Ray is sassy, but her voice gets kinda grating after a while. Her cleavage is fake, she has minimal chest. LOL!  
 
Giada De Laurentiis, on the other hand, is what we call " smokin hot!"  

 

 
and like Op Chaos, I cant recall a single dish she's prepared...

Someone needs to have a little talk with McCain's daughter.
