Dunkin’ Donuts Pulls Rachel Ray Ad; Apparently Michelle Malkin Complained that the Scarf She Wore Looks Too ‘Muslim.’

I was really hoping I’d never have to write anything about Michelle Malkin. Too bad, she’s an ignorant fool, and we tend to collect those here. From Boston.com:

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.

‘‘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.

Dunkin’ Donuts had this to say:

‘‘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.’’

I’d say that’s in very poor taste for both Dunkin’ Donuts and Malkin. I’ll never buy a donut from either of them in the future. To pull an ad because there is a black and white scarf that kinda looks like a keffiyeh, which is simply a hat, is lunacy and it tells me we have some very ignorant people with way too much time and money on their hands. I hope you both go broke.

Rachel Ray looks so sad peddling their coffee.
