Dunkin' Donuts Pulls 'Kaffiyeh' Advertisement

Received from Dunkin’ Brands Customer Service this morning (along with two more hate mails from Rachael Ray fans):

Thank you for expressing your concern regarding the Rachael Ray advertisement. In the ad that you reference, Rachael is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design that was purchased at a U.S. retail store. It was selected by the stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we will no longer use the commercial.

They left the same note in the comments for Exurban League, where there is a serious infestation of snarling moonbats.

As Dunkin’ Donuts pulls the ad, the idiots are snarling and ranting over here too: Crooks and Liars - Dunkin’ Dumbasses.
