Rachel Ray Scarf!!

Rachel Ray is the face and voice of Dunkin’ Donuts, but her recent ad has been causing a lot of controversy. Rachel Ray’s scarf that she is wearing in the advertisement has been such a hot topic that it caused a boycott of the coffee shop and the pulling of the ad.The controversy over the ad began when Michelle Malkin of Fox News became so incensed that the boycott talk began. The issue with Rachel Ray’s scarf is that it looks a lot like a keffiyeh, which is the traditional headdress worn by some Arab men. Apparently, that makes Rachel Ray a terrorist sympathizer, according to Malkin and others.

A statement by Dunkin’ Donuts reads,“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.”
