Haven't we moved past this?

I read a story yesterday on Boston.com about a "controversial" Dunkin Donuts ad. It's not everyday that you get to say controversial and Dunkin Donuts in the same sentence and for good reason.

The article talks about a recent ad where known islamofascist sympathizer and celebrity "chef"* Rachel Ray sports a keffiyeh, which is a traditional headress worn by Arab men. To me it looks more like a pashmina but of course I'm neither Arab or into fashion,(except mandals) so I could very well be wrong.

Either way the utterly abhorrent Michelle Malkin(if you want to lose a lot of faith in humanity, read her column) decided that this is completely unacceptable and wrote about it in her syndicated column, even bringing up the possibility of a Dunkin Donuts boycott.

Sadly, Dunkin Donuts was pressured enough by the Right-wing blogosphere that they decided that it would be easier to just pull the ad. This of course pleased Malkin, who states, ‘‘It’s refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to the concerns of Americans opposed to Islamic jihad and its apologists.’’

Yes, it is refreshing to see an American company show sensitivity to a handful of whiny cunts who attempt to make it impossible to enjoy anything that may possibly be somewhat related to anything from an Arab country. Good looking out Michelle.

*Even Rachel Ray won't call herself a chef, one of her few redeeming qualities
