Recently, Rachel Ray endorsed Dunkin Donuts in their website and it created a lot of controversy. Wonder why?Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism. Its all because of the "controversial" black and white scarf she wore for the ad (which Dunkin Donuts replied publicly ...
" Thank you for taking the time voice your concerns about the Dunkin’ Donuts Rachael Ray advertisement. In the ad that you reference, Rachael is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design purchased at a U.S. retail store and selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. This is not a ‘kaffiyeh’, which is typically a checkered and cotton/wool fabric")
Personally, i don't think they really intended to send that message with donning the scarf ... turns out it was chosen by the stylist as it looked good to balance the colored background. As of this writing the picture has been taken down.
