Dunkin Donuts Are A Bunch Of Pussies!

Don't get the title of this blog post confused. The people who represent and control all the decisions for Dunkin Donuts are the pussies.

They caved in and pulled their ad for fears of a boycott because some bullshit ridiculous claim that their ad with Rachel Ray, whom you see wearing a scarf that looked like a keffiyeh. Some psychotic right winged blogger Michelle Malkin, took offense to it and called it "the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad."

What Dunkin Donuts should have done, was make a new ad with someone actually wearing a keffiyeh and holding a coffee in one hand and holding up a middle finger in the other hand. That's Boston baby! Take your bigoted and fear mongering bullshit and shove it up your ass Michelle Malkin!

"The lunatic fringe" as Arianna Huffinton likes to call the right wing is way out of control with this fear mongering bullshit. First of all, it's a fucking scarf. Second of all, since when in this country, are we supposed to be ashamed or embarrassed about pride, heritage, or ethnic clothing? This country made up entirely of every nationality in this world. This wasn't even the point. It's a goddamn Dunkin Donuts commercial. Not some way to send subliminal messages. If the right wing wants to get in to conspiracies maybe they should investigate these fucking commercials that play every 3 minutes and get stuck in your head all day long. This is the real problem, freecreditreport.com!!

Take note of the dork in the back seat with the ultimate "gay face."

Yes this stupid shit will be stuck in your head all day. Those are the real subliminal messages.

I appreciate Malkin's heightened post 9/11 patriotism, but I was sickened to find incriminating photos of Malkin in a leather jacket. The same woman who vilifies and conflates Ray with all Arab men, is actually promoting gay leather subculture.

While to me it does resemble a keffiyeh, I think that most people would be in agreement that it was more than likely a shitty job in wardrobe - I'm no fashion expert, but does a woman in a small T-shirt really need a scarf in spring?

I think what people object to is what the keffiyeh appears to stand for - things like the PLO, Black September, and other such groups which have used extreme measures to make a point - and do we need to make something like that into a fashion statement?

I know I wouldn't want Al-Jazeera running a commercial with a dude wearing a swastika or a klan hat just because they thought it "looked cool."

I completely agree. This is exactly the kind of ridiculous bullshit that the right uses to cloud the water and confuse the masses. They use the same tactics that terrorists use to recruit. False outrage over inconsequential bullshit.

I think Dunkin Donuts pulled these ads because they dont want to draw attention to all the sleeper cells they have working in their stores.

I honestly don't think the commercial should be taken down, however, rachel ray shouldnt wear that when she doesn't know what it means.

Its not just worn by terrorists, and in this country, oddly enough, the kiffeyeh has basically become a mini fashion trend, you can see it in a lot of other places.

Great points. I'm glad theres people like you who speak out against stupid shit like this. Thanks.

It doesn't even look like a keffiyeh.

It's Arianna Huffington I believe. Free Press Action Fund ftw

Even worse...the Free Credit Report guy does not even sing. He's a French-Canadian actor that was cast first - he just lip-synchs the lyrics to the songs.

....why do I know this useless crap?

Admittedly that scarf looks like a pair of boxers my girlfriend won't let me wear because it looks like a rat armed with 80 grit sandpaper went to work on them but seriously, this is either a lame marketing stunt or someone in wardrobe has been shitcanned.
