Rachael Ray: Dunkin Donuts Ad Pulled
Rachael Ray is a spokesmodel for the company Dunkin’ Donuts and recently a commercial featuring her was pulled from the air after much controversy over the scarf she was wearing.
It turns out that the black and white scarf she was wearing looks very similar to a keffiyeh which is a traditional headdress worn by Arab men.
Michelle Malkin, a conservative Fox News commentator, fueled the outburst against the ad by posting, “The keffiyeh has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad” in her blog over the weekend.
Wow, looks like someone ran out of things to blog about.
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.”
Bad day for her stylist.
