Do you remember a couple of years ago when there was this Canadian guy who was making his social protests by throwing pies at political figures?  I really admire that guy.  So, as a tribute to that guy, and based on the political and culturally critical nature of some of our posts, we need to start a segment dedicated specifically to people who deserve a good pie in the face.  So… as the first installment in this series, I would like to direct you to this story.  Apparently, Dunkin Donuts recently pulled an ad they had launched to promote their iced coffee.  Featured in this ad was the ever perky Ms. Rachel Ray.

But guess what?  She’s a terrorist.

Or so sayeth ridiculous, attention mongering, right wing blogger, Michelle Malkin.  She decided that the scarf worn by The Girly Gourmet looked like a kaffiyeh - a traditional scarf worn by many Middle Eastern cultures.  Of course, the real absurdity here is not whether or not she was wearing a kaffiyeh, or even something inspired by a kaffiyeh (which, let’s be logical here - it’s Rachel Ray - and it’s a black and white scarf - according to Dunkin Donuts, it’s a PAISLEY black and white scarf).  The real absurdity is her assumption that anyone wearing a kaffiyeh supports terrorism.  But hey… your blog gets picked up when you say something outrageous and offensive enough, so what’s the incentive to be remotely logical or tolerant or balanced?  So really… is it Malkin who deserves a pie in the face?  Or is it society?

Right now, I’ll settle for Malkin.  But society… I’m watching you.
