Rachel Ray has a perky, cheerleader type of personality, always smiling, and laughing. She happens to be one of those celebrity chefs that star on the Food Channel, and is expanding out with her own line of goods and dong advertising campaigns.

She also has apparently offended many people in the latest Dunkin Donuts commercial. She wore a scarf thats called a keffiyeh. She even offended Michelle Malkin who calls the scarf "hate couture" There has even been talk of boycotting DD so DD canceled the advertising campaign. Because of the talk, DD canceled the ad campaign, which I think is a bad idea, but is that just me?

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)?

I highly doubt that she offended many people. She's too damn bubbly to offend anyone with what she wears. On the other hand, she may offend some people by being too happy.

Dunkin' Donuts offends me, though -- BIG TIME! I wish corporations would think these things through a bit before over-reacting. Whoever made that decision would be a good school administrator. They do that kind of stupid stuff all the time, lol.

I'm so sick of seeing her face everywhere that I'm tempted to say that anything which limits her exposure is a good thing. But this is really ridiculous and the idiots who are whining about her scarf are, well...idiots. Nazis wore black leather gloves. Does that mean anyone who wears black leather gloves is a Nazi supporter?

It's amazing how bigots get to think their opinions are so important.

In the early twentieth century wearing a red necktie was supposedly a sign of homosexuality. Clear proof that President Bush supports The Homosexual Agenda™ (if you're Michelle Malkin)!
