So Dunkin Donuts has canned an online advertisement featuring Rachel Ray, because she is wearing a hipster scarf. According to FOXNews, the least credible news source in America, the scarf resembles a keffiyeh - a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. Because Rachel Ray is wearing said hipster scarf, FOXNews thought this sent the message to America that Dunkin Donuts supports terrorism.
FoxNews commentator Michelle Malkin had this to say on her blog: "Anti-American fashion designers abroad and at home have mainstreamed and adapted the scarves as generic pro-Palestinian jihad or anti-war
statements. Yet many folks out there remain completely oblivious to the
apparel's violent symbolism and anti-Israel overtones."
Whoa. A little aggressive much? This reminds me of when everyone hated the French because George Bush thought they supported terrorism and people in the bible belt started the whole 'freedom fries' thing. People like to get worked up in a tizzy over everything. Like if someone gets a Chinese symbol tattooed on their bicep, does that mean they hate Tibet and the Dalai Lama? Why does everything have to get turned into an ideological battle? I hate the hipster scarf, not because I think it's a political statement, but because it's kinda overdone. They sell these scarves at H&M.
Also, when Rachael Ray starts wearing a trend, you know it's dead.

Rachael Ray is the harbinger of all that is mediocre.
