The hilarious thing is, IT'S PAISLEY!!!!!!! It's not even a keffiyeh. Look closely (beyond the fringe & the fact that it's black & white) and you can see the flowers and curves.

Krispy Kreme is a disgusting sugary mess. I feel sorry for anyone who has not experienced the joys of "Daylight Donuts" with their thin, not too sweet glaze of perfection.

Dunkin Donuts? Terrible. I'll never understand how anyone can tolerate those dry, doughy, unpleasant wads passed off as "cake doughnuts". And Krispy Kreme too sweet? How can anything ever be too sweet? It's impossible! Rachel Ray though? One of the worst things on the fucking planet. I don't see how anyone who respects food in the slightest could even stoop to shit in her face.

Sean Hannity likes young boys. I don't know this for a fact, but he does fit the profile - if ya know what I mean. *wink wink*

Dunkin' Donuts disgusts me for giving into this silliness. Why on earth would Rachel Ray be wearing a kaffiyeh for crying out loud? It just looks like a white scarf with some kind of black design. These people sound like the idiots who find subliminal messages in Disney cartoons.

"Well, if the kaffiyehs piss of the wingnuts, where do I get me one?" There may be a resurgence of this is/was fashion trend thanks to Fox news.

I would love for Rachel Ray to start wearing that thing on her show in protest. And also for her to cook Michelle Malkin in one of her recipes.

WTF indeed. Next thing you know wearing a beret won't just look dumb but you'll be accused of being a french jihadist apologist. Oh but when will the day come when wearing a cowboy hat makes someone an imperialist blood sucking oil corporation apologist. oh no! I think if anything this has convinced me to buy and wear a kaffieyah just to see if I can get someone mad at me so I can point out their stupidity.

I like Rachel Ray's fat arms. They're the least annoying thing about her. People who cook for a living SHOULD have fat arms.

For her part, Malkin was pleased with Dunkin's response: "It's refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists." W. T. F. By Malkin's twisted logic we wouldn't allow Sikhs outside, for fear of offending the sensitive, if ignorant, anti-jihad Americans. What an f'ing clown.

I will NOT put the straw down...well maybe I'll just use the key in the dressing room when I'm selling my arab scarf.

Eww, I would never call Krispy Kremes the dark chocolate of donuts. They're the white chocolate of donuts! Sickeningly sweet. Blech!

I can't get over the cognitive dissonance. It's like catching a No Blood For Oil pin on Mickey Mouse.

She's got fat arms. I would have banned her for that alone.

when did conservatives become so easily offended and seem to cry on demand for these sorts of things? Running around screaming and crying like a liberal in Santa Cruz over their version of political correctness. WTF? frankly if someone hadn't told me a) about RR's ad and b) that in fact she is wearing what Malkin claims is a kaffieyah, I would have just thought she was wearing a scarf...it was not immediately obvious to me. I guess when your job is to scream for money, you gotta keep screaming louder and louder and acting like a two year old throwing tantrums if everyone doesn't give you the cookie on demand.

I don't like Malkin. She pissed off a ton of Japanese Americans and Asian Americans by claiming that the interment camps during WWII was a good idea. And she's Filipino and doesn't know shit about her own ethnic group's struggle. I'd personally toss her in an Asian American Studies class here at SFSU to teach her a lesson.

Rounded up, and tied with a kaffiyeh.

I remember Dunkin Donuts when I visited New York just a couple of months ago. They were everywhere! But not as bad as the swarms of McDonald's and Duane Reede's (NYC's version of Walgreens). Maybe they can buy out that Krispy Kreme's down at Daly City, then the place would be packed.

matty, i couldn't agree more. we need one here. also, there are many krispy kremes located next door to in-and-out throughout CA, but...KKs are too much at times. they're the dark chocolate of donuts.

I don't get why conservatives get upset about this kind of thing. If you want to make Mohammedans look silly, what better way could there be than draping their magical handkerchiefs all over a Dunkin Donuts commercial? I do agree, though -- we desperately need a DD here in SF. Next door to an In-and-Out, please.

I loved her when I considered her a novelty on $40 a Day (even though she's kind of a lousy tipper). Now she's all over the damn place. Ugh.

Sure would be nice to have a fuckin' Dunkin Donuts out here or two (unfortunately, that's not how they roll...once one goes in you can expect a swarm; almost worse than Starbucks); I liked their rotgut coffee.
