Dunkin Donuts sucks and I will not ever go there again. Why, you ask, well I'll tells ya, because they caved into the the lunatic fringe. Someone saw a DD ad that had Rachael Ray in it wearing a black and white paisley scarf. Well in this group of ,there's a terrorist cells under every bed, decided that this scarf looked kinda like keffiyeh, a traditional head scarf worn by Arab men. So a couple of people started to spread the rumor that it was terrible that Rachael Ray would wear a terrorist sympathizer scarf and started to complain to the Dunkin Donut people. And you know what the DD people did they pulled the ad. Instead of saying " that's not a keffiyeh it's just a black and white paisley scarf you knuckleheads. Do they think that Rachael Ray is a member of a terrorist cell and is she just waiting to poison every last jelly donut, in 30 minutes I bet, that DD sells. So the jelly filled heads of DD pulled the ad and now I am pulling out of DD. Good bye Dunkinchino my old friend I'll miss you.

I hate baseless rumors.
Rachel Ray is not a friend of Osama Ben Laden, any members of Al-Qaeda or any Muslim extremist or terrorist groups.
She is just a nice lady with dyslexia that is trying to overcome her personal difficulties and make a decent living.
I did not see the Dukin’ Donuts ad. In new Jersey she advertised for Lowes where she works part time in quality control. (She checks box labels to see if items are really “right handed” or “left handed.)
Krispy Kreme donuts are better anyway Uncle Willie. I am qualified to comment on this having never had Dunkin Donuts.
Actually, now that I think of it, Krispy Kreme = KK which is very nearly KKK. I will have to protest, they are obviously a racist organisation selling donuts to raise funds for white supremacist activities.
Allow me to provide some crisis management/public relations perspective. In our hyper-sensitive culture, DD avoided a myriad of other problems by pulling the ad. Frankly I think they'd rather lose the handful of customers who share your opinion than the millions of others who felt the scarf was questionable. It sucks, I know, but them's the breaks.
