Neck Problems



A Rachel Ray commercial for Dunkin Donuts has been pulled for the air because conservative say the scarf she is wearing resembles a keffiyeh, Political blogger Michelle Malkin says "The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad." Thanks for the definition biotch.

Dunkin Donuts first ignored the attention but eventually pulled the commercial. Here's Malkin's response to that.

"It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns
of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists. Too many of them bend
over backward in the direction of anti-American political correctness....
Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the
mainstreaming of violence -- unintentionally or not -- they matter. Ignorance is
no longer an excuse. In post-9/11 America, vigilance must never go out of
style
."

Well I wont be wearing my Sari to her dinner party now will I?
