Kiith

Apparently, scarfs are now promoting Islamic extremism...ah you crazy yanks :pac:

The US chain Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an advert following complaints that the scarf worn by a celebrity chef offered symbolic support for Islamic extremism...

I would ban those trendy little scarfs that alot of lads wear with that gay little knot. Personally I am a fan of scarves, just not the aforementioned type.

As for the Islamic type head-scarves, about 10 or 15 years ago everyone's auld one was going around wearing head-scarves. My ma was anyway!

I used to wear one of them back in the early 90's. I haven't seen one snce.

+1 for that. And any fella wearing them with skinny jeans and Vans should be publically flogged.

It's scarves! Scarves!

The only reason the ad should be pulled is because Rachel Ray is so very annoying.

What next, are they going to trawl the streets in search of everyone who is wearing a scarf like that and force them to take it off?

I don't like scarves, too itchy and a warm neck is pretty pointless.

Funny comments on BBC site :pac:

This is like saying that UPS should change its brown uniform because it pleases the Hitler Youth.

Having a warm neck warms the rest of the body.

I wear several scarves to offset the speedos in winter.

Obviously its the style of scarf.

Still, absolutely ridiculous. That scarf has become fashionable and all religious symbolism has been removed except from the minds of people who like to spread fear. Evertone I know who wears that scarf is no more terroist than I am...my point being, NOT a terrorist!

America, proving once again they are small minded fools, well, the people involved in this ad and the people who objected to it. How dare they remove the ad

ITS. JUST. A. SCARF.

it's pretty obvious someone would object, bid dumb to run the add in the first place

It doesn't even look like a proper keffiyeh, just a scarve with a black and white pattern on it.

snickerpuss

Yeah the stylist from the shoot is swearing it's an innocent paisley print. And if you look closely, that's exactly what it appears to be.
