Had to pass this one along. Dunkin Doughnuts has just pulled an ad because of complaints that the actress was wearing a black and white scarf that looked like traditional Arab keffiyeh. Bloggers accused the chain of supportiung terrorism, and the ads were removed.
The article was just sad,
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7427206.stm
but the comment below it was hillarious
"Brilliant! Everything that is wrong with America in a single news story. Neo-Con extremism, the inability to distinguish between 'Arab' and 'terrorist', corporate kow-towing to inarticulate ranting, and huge diabetes-inducing donuts with icing on top."

I read about this over here. The newspaper said the original objection was from a neo-con website.
The choice of who to suppose is the more ridiculous is difficult - DD for succumbing to this pressure or the right wing pressure groups.
This situation, though, reminded me of the novel by Atwood "Handmaiden's Tale" .
