The article that brought me out of retirement!

Yeah, yeah, I know it's been more than a month since I've blogged. I suck, blah blah blah.

But I'm back now bitches. And with good cause.

This article on Yahoo news is the exact reason that people suck and have way too much time on their hands.

Here's the lead:

BOSTON - 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.

Are you fuckin' kidding me? If you had asked me what two items would never be together in the same sentence ever, I would have thought I wouldn't have ever been able to come up with "Rachael Ray" and "terrorism."

This whole thing came about when conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained. She said it looked too much like a scarf Yasser Arafat wore.

You decide:




Wow, now that I look at it, it's pretty obvious she is supporting terrorism. Look at the way she's holding the iced coffee and smiling. I bet she's thinking of ways to blow up that building behind her.
