This is a clear case of stupidity in action. I can't begin to count all the times I have seen women dressed in similar fashion without being called a terrorism supporter. Someone must have too much time and too little brain with too little to do to get all twisted over this.

I'm torn between disagreeing with the taking down of the ad because of some stupid paranoia and the fact that anything that removes Rachel Ray from the public eye is a wonderful idea.

Boycott the donuts if you're on a diet...otherwise who cares .

This kind of stuff is so ridiculous. Just think what people could accomplish if they spent all this effort worrying about their jobs and families rather than what's on TV.

Do you think we should boycott Donuts(or any food) because a celebrity is wearing a scarf(or any clothing that might be considered hate couture)?

Dude, you worry about some insignificant stuff..

I needed to ask because it became "newsworthy" Actually I was baffled about why this became "news" and why DD would stop the commercials because of the possible link between a scarf and terrorism.

I guess I just had to ask the guys here why anyone would consider wearing a scarf to be related to terrorism.
