Dunkin' Donuts said Wednesday it pulled the ad over the weekend because of what it calls a "misperception" about the scarf that detracted from its original intent to promote its iced coffee.

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf appeared to be traditional garb worn by Arab men. The ad's critics say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

My reaction: Huh? Wha? Huh? This is CRAPSHITPOOP. Kudos to Rachel for making a stink!!!! I love it!

Doubt she did it to raise a stink. Just did it to look cool or prob. just what the wardrobe person told her to wear. Funny how they call it a controversy when 3 loud conservo-nazi radio guys complain. Saw 2 polls where 92-94% of the people said they didnt find the scarf offensive. Dunkin Donuts is weak!

in bloomington people wear scarfs like that all the time. a scarf is an inanimate object and therefore does not commit acts of terror. people walking around with their butt cracks hanging out is much more scary :)
