[acesupercoolme]

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..

 

[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." 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..



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.
