This advertisement offended people


Offended them to the extent that Dunkin' Donuts pulled the ad from the internet.

They weren't offended by Rachael Ray supporting Dunkin' Donuts, which has been likened to "endorsing crack for kids." They were offended by her clothing.

I don't know which angers me more - that people take offense so easily, or that the company caves in so easily to pressure.

  1. I'm confused by what's offensive about her clothing. Drawing a blank here.

    Found your site by googling +"rachael ray" +"uncanny valley".
    She's creepy

  2. Some people apparently felt that the design on the scarf implied support for the Palestinian cause.
