Rachael Ray ad pulled as pundit sees terror link

Yes, this is as ridiculous as it sounds...

Rachael Ray ad pulled as pundit sees terror link
Malkin claimed scarf similar to those worn by murderous Islamic extremists

Dunkin' Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.

In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally syndicated column resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is "popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos."

There is a photo in the story of Ray wearing the scarf, which happens to be black and white PAISLEY with a fringed edge. It's nothing like the "garb" Malkin is speaking of, other than it being black and white! Pitiful that Dunkin Donuts pulled the ad.
