Rachael Ray’s Scarf Causes A Whole Lot Of Trouble
A scarf worn by celebrity chef Rachael Ray in an online ad for Dunkin’ Donuts (shown in the photo above) caused a lot of ruckus recently after critics called it “hate couture,” claiming it offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.
In an online ad that began appearing earlier this month, Ray — who was used to promote Dunkin’ Donuts’ new iced coffee — is seen wearing a fringed black-and-white scarf, stirring up complaints by bloggers likened to a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress.
It was so much of an issue that the Donut company pulled the ads. “Absolutely no symbolism was intended,” the company said.
How silly is that? It’s a scarf people! Calm down.
