Her commercial got pulled because she wore a scarf similar to one that Muslim murderers would wear...

Seriously...
It's a SCARF that tons of people are wearing ones like it now, it's a trend!
I have one too, and I will still wear it. Maybe some people actually like it.
It's an ad for doughnuts, not terrorism!
And really, I don't think many people would pay attention to a little accessory when they watch commercials.
Everyone all over the world have been wearing these for months now, does that mean we're all terrorists?

I don't see what the big deal is if it's a trend and all..:confused:

[acesupercoolme]

Exactly!
There's probably been a few other celebrities wearing them around and being photographed with them on, nobody has ever given a **** about it before now.
I've been wearing mine for over a month.

I know
"Dunkin' Donuts said 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." :confused: Okay..so even the Dunkin' Donuts said that it wasn't a keffiyeh.

K, first of all, the scarf does NOT go with that top, so, I think that's the real crime..

:blush:

But seriously, it's a freaking piece of fabric, it's not like it's going to influence kids to become terrorists or anything. I just don't think it's necessary to remove the commercial over a scarf.

Oh my goodness, Rachel Ray is a terrorist! She probably supplies Al Quaeda with food!

=\

I was just thinking about that..a black top maybe? or a white top? not a red shirt though..

I also agree with what you said in your second paragraph, too

[disney100666]

wow. That's dumb.
I adore those scarfs!!

[RaggedyAnnPrincess]

=\

Your right! And in return the probably give her those eeeeevil scarves...


Clever Rachael Ray, very clever.......

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

Rachel Ray irritates the heck outa me XD
But even so, that's really dumb.

"YUM-OHHHH!!!!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS, THAT IS GOOOOOOOOD FOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!"

she's so annoying. Lol.

[TinkerTracy]

That's ridiculous.

[OneTreeHill]

My dad loves her.
I think she's annoying.
But still, that is ridiculous.
I have a friend who wears them everyday.
It is a trend.
Wow. That is incredibley stupid.

[STOPxmickeytime]

I don't get angry that easily.
But ignorant crap like that seriously annoys me.

Political correctness, on the most basic level, is good.
I mean, the non-use of racial slurs and public racial and religious prejudices, I'm all for that.

But when it gets to the point that you can't legally say "Merry Christmas" as a store clerk or wear a SCARF in an ad selling coffee and donuts, who is that really protecting?

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Wow, seriously? I have that EXACT same scarf, one in black and one in blue. I've seen tons of celebs wearing it, and they're all over Paris right now. This is... ridiculous, lmao.

I don't care if it's associated with terrorists, they're the most freaking amazing scarves I've ever seen, I'm still wearing them, haha.

[JulielovesDisney]

That's ridiculous! People these days are waaayy too sensitive.
