Fashion Faux Pas or Terrorist Sympathizer? Rachael Ray Under Fire
Edited on Thu May-29-08 07:12 AM by ashling
rachael Ray fans, why do you hate America?

why is your icon - the Yumm-O meister - the queen of EVOO - the sultan of Sammies - sending coded messages to the terrorists???

what do you have to say for yourselves?

Is Rachael Ray, the talk-show host, cookbook author and magazine editor, a terrorist sympathizer?

(ABC)Dunkin' Donuts, worried that its customers might think so, abruptly yanked an ad in which Ray wears a scarf that resembles a keffiyeh -- a traditional headdress worn by Arab men -- after conservative commentators became enraged by the ad and even threatened to boycott the company.

The controversial ad, which appeared earlier this month on the doughnut chain's Web site to promote its iced coffee, came under fire nearly two weeks ago when pro-Jewish blogger Pam Geller posted it under the headline "Rachel Ray: Dunkin Donuts Jihad Tool."

"Have you seen Rachel Ray wearing the icon of Yasser Arafatbastard and the bloody Islamic jihad," Geller wrote. "This is part of the cultural jihad."

3. The last time I called someone rabid...
I started a flamewar I'm not repeating. I'm sticking with looks.

4. Aha! That cleavage carries a secret coded jihad message
I'll have to study this closer. Maybe even on HDTV.

I'll look into it and report back.

5. Let's all put on our keffiyehs and get coffee and donuts!
But not from Dunkin' Donuts, who caved to M.M.

Then again, it's too warm for the keffiyeh where I live, and my doctor wants me to avoid donuts, so maybe we should consume low-fat coffee cake or muffins with coffee while we're all wearing our CafePress t-shirts with the slogans of our choice.

8. I think we should all buy a scarf like that and go to Dunkin Donuts.
I would not order anything because I will never give them any of my money again. To top it all off, they are owned by The Carlyle Group. Yuck.

15. Been wearing them for over 25 years.
I worked in Israel for four years and saw plenty of IDF soldiers wearing keffeyas - especially at boring road check points. They're warm and comfortable.

**And the best bicycle scarves for winter. Ever.
