Terror Scarf

Thursday 07 August 08

Dunkin' Donuts have just pulled an advertisment campaign with the American celebrity chef Rachel Ray after critics argued that the scarf she was wearing offerd symbolic support for terrorism.

Dunkin' Donuts said it pulled the ad because of what it calls a "misperception" about the scarf that detracted from its intent to promote its iced coffee. Critics complained that the scarf appeared to be traditional garb worn by Arab men. They say such scarves have come to symbolise Muslim extremism and terrorism.
