Dunkin Donuts

D Holes Dunkin Donuts has pulled an ad featuring Rachael Ray wearing a black and white silk paisley scarf after right-wing bloggers like Michelle Malkin complained that it looked like a keffiyeh and questioned whether people should boycott DD because of it. Does Malkin have donuts for brains? Seriously, did she really think that Rachael Ray or any of the other douches who wear keffiyeh-esque scarves as a fashion statement are Islamic jihad sympathizers? Dunkin Donuts issued a statement saying, "Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial." So it turns out that everyone in that company is a moron, from the execs to the 17-year-old kid who never understands that "black" means "no milk." (But their apple crumb donuts are like made from fluffy, sweet clouds in heaven.) [Boston Globe]

Here We Gooooobama

Obama and McCain, Mr. Dreams of my Father vs. Faith of my Fathers, are tonight's winners. McCain is a completely sure thing now, and Obama is looking better on account of winning the Latins this time. Camile Paglia knows who she'll be voting for, and it's not the "weird old coot"...the weird old coot now seems to be subtly knocking Obama. Using many Clintonian talking points, I might add! [Salon]

Rachael Ray On Dunkin Donuts Coffee: "What Is This Shit??"

This just in from the set of Rachael Ray's latest Dunkin Donuts commercial, according to a New York Magazine tipster: "She took one sip of her Dunkin' Donuts coffee, yelled "What is this shit? Get me MY coffee," and would not continue until she was given "her" coffee — i.e., Starbucks." Fascinating. On one hand, I always love it when celebrities shill products they hate. A few years back when Reebok was inking endorsement contracts with pretty much every vaguely hip-hop centric artist on the Hot 100, Jay-Z and Fabulous were always fucking with them, showing up to gigs in Nikes. (Jay-Z pulled the same shit on HP last week — he's a Mac user; aren't we fucking all?) But yeah, on the other hand, slavish devotion to brands, especially brands like Starbucks and Nike but really, any of those stupid little "culty" laptop bag brands or organic shampoo brands you hear people raving about at marketing conferences and in airports in Portland. But then, on the other other hand, coffee is seriously important, maybe more important than politics or philosophy, and with all the discussion of drinking habits on this site I can't believe I'd never posed the question: how do you take your coffee? It's a poll! More »

The Preciousness Of Zach Braff's Directing Career

Poignant, isn't it? The directorial career of Zach Braff? Contemplate his debut effort, in which he documented the lushness of the New Jersey landscape and captured the precious spirit of Natalie Portman. Contemplate his follow-up work, in which he documents the destruction of a suburban lawn and captures the volatile (yet precious!) spirit of Naomi Campbell. Oh, and sells doughnuts. The first-leaked video of this moving tale, provided here for your thought-provoking, tear-jerking, viewing pleasure.

Why Don't Jay-Z And Beyonce Have A Dumb Couple Name Like Everyone Else? Jayonce? Be-Hova?

  • Yeah, it's supposed to be vacation, but Beyonce doesn't exactly dress down. Just walking around with those earrings is like working out with weights strapped to your ankles. She reminds us of our grandmother. (Photo after jump) [People]
  • Suri Cruise about to get a celebusib? [Sun]
  • Gays petition to restore epithet-loving Isaiah Washington to Grey's-ness. [Page Six]
  • Naomi Campbell to play an abusive crazed bitch (herself) in a Dunkin' Donuts commercial. [Page Six]
  • Shar Jackson to sue Star for keeping her relevant. [TMZ]
  • Will somebody please invite us to the Maxim Women of the Israeli Defense Forces party tonight? Thanks. [Rush & Molloy]
