Dunkin Donuts Pulls Rachael Ray Ad Due to Arab-Looking Scarf

This whole issue is ridiculous on so many levels.
a) It's definitely not a keffiyah. You can clearly see that it is paisley.
b) Even if it were a keffiyah, it would be far more likely to just be misappropriated as a fashion accessory than a political statement.
c) The keffiyah is worn all over the Arab world
d) When used as a political statement, its a symbol of Palestinian liberation, not a support for terrorism.

Holly on Feministe had a good post on this topic.

Cook the Book: 'Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking'

I just made hamantaschen, so I'm tempted to promote the cookie's virtues. But I'll have to say that sufganiyot are still my favorite.

This has got to be the most dumb-ass politically correct crap to come down the pike, ever.
Did it ever occur to anyone that perhaps RR was wearing this scarf because she's put on a few pounds and is trying to hide a turkey neck? Your eyes are drawn to her face, then her scarf and since she was obviously shot from the waist up you bypass her tuches and hips. Say what you will about RR but this is political correctness gone awry.

What really surprises me is that no one at DD realized the similarity between that scarf and the traditional religious garb. For crying out loud, who decided on a gray and white scarf for someone who has made a career out of being annoyingly perky? They couldn't find purple? Hot pink?

It seems that people are forgetting the bright side:

One less commercial featuring RR speaking for DD.

Silver Lining folks!!

Michelle Malkin with the same scarf. Much as I have no love for Rachel Ray, Malkin has no place to criticize her. Glasshouses and all that.

That's a scarf of some sort?

I thought it was a special sort of donut napkin.
