Dunkin Dumpin’: Rachael Ray

Posted under Free for All & Walt Disney & Rachel Ray

Ever noticed how Dunkin Donuts, in the main, are pitched next to gas stations, selling gas that comes from Arab states?????

Maybe Dunkin Donuts were in a run up to a new ad campaign for ‘Iced Keffiyeh’ which would hold your taste buds hostage never again letting you return to Starbucks, or maybe a ‘Terrorist Sprinkle’ which would explode with flavour with the first bit!

But whatever their intentions, DD’s latest commercial for their iced tea, which shows TV cook Rachael Ray wearing the traditional Arab head dress, the keffiyeh, has been pulled amid protests from customers who have threatened to boycott the company for using the headdress worn by the deceased Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and a symbol regarded world wide to be synonymous with Arab men.

Fox news columnist Michelle Malkin explains the garment “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.’

Surely the advertising guru’s at Dunkin Donuts must have realized the stupidity of allowing Rachael to wear such a predominant Arab symbol in their commercial!

Maybe the ad staff at Mickey D’s could have Ronald MacDonald sporting a Swastika on his jump suit or maybe Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse wearing the white hood of the Ku Klux Klan!!!
