"A Dunkin Donuts ad featuring Rachael Ray, 39, was pulled after conservative commentators argued the talk show host's scarf implied support of Muslim extremism." [Us, The Huffington Post, The Boston Globe]
At first Dunkin Donuts resisted the demands of protesters, but decided to later yank the ad for fear of a "mass boycott."
A statement released by the chain reads: "In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.''
