I've seen some ridiculous things in my time, but this is special. :D

[Kolya]

Now, in response to that piece of *^!%%, does one support or boycott Dunkin’ Donuts?:confused:

[Matrona]

I think we need to take up a special collection to buy Michelle Malkin a clue. The scarf is obviously a paisley pattern, not the pattern of a keffiyeh, and even if it were a keffiyeh they are worn by lots of people in the Middle East.

That was one of the most ridiculous news stories I've ever seen. Come on!!

And my dad in the 70s... :sorry: He was cool... ;) they're 'trendy' ever so often...

...much ado about nothing...

Ray and Milkin are both dingbats....so neither knows diddly about anything more than cooking and "fashion" whatever that is...

I read over the article you posted, Orthosdoxa, and I see the history behind the scarf and all, but I don't really think Ray is informed enough to even know what the scarf's history is, personally.

And the British army uses them too; they call them "shemaghs".

stupid people think too much...

Did she even decide her wardrobe attire for the commercial or did a staff member from the Dunkin Donuts team?

Eh, this came up on WD. When I read the original article, I thought to myself, I wonder how people would be reacting if she was wearing something that bore the swastika symbol. To me, it's a non issue but I can understand why someone could take issue with it. It's not such a far fetched thought imho.

I guess. My thoughts were either someone does her wardrobe or she picks whatever is the "in" fashion and goes with it, with no knowledge of where the fashion came from.

I say the Dunkin' Donuts people should have kept the ad, and hoped that people would start associating the scarf with Dunkin' Donuts, thus thwarting the terrorists' use of it. :D That's one way to beat them! Take their scarves away from them. ^_^

This is really silly. Sorry but it is. If her scarf really was a replica of the Islamic one then ok, maybe but it's just a black and white scarf that happens to fall so that it sorta looks like an Islamic scarf. I have a pictures of me that look misleading (and down right unflattering- no I'll never post them!) just because there's a picture doesn't make it true!

[Shubunkin]

They could have changed the scarf using computer graphics. :)
