Keffiyeh and Dunkin’ Donuts Coffee

Ok, those two words above sound almost the same (at least to me). So what is a keffiyeh and what about Dunkin’ Donuts (DD) coffee? I just came across this term when I was reading the posts about this topic. All I know was it was probably called a scarf, a big scarf.

A keffiyeh is a checkered scarf, more known and seen being worn by Moslems. No surprise there because we have seen some personalities associated with the religious group, or even those who do not belong to the group but tries to blend with them, wear this. A variety or maybe a more popular variety is the red and white checkered one.

Michelle Malkin raised a ruckus when she wrote a blog entry about Rachael Ray wearing this keffiyeh in a DD ad. Pamela Geller wrote about it first. So what happened next? DD pulled out the ad. Yep, it did, and this is the link.

This here is another link.

Me? I’m outta here. I will just sleep off a sudden craving for donut, any glazed donut :D

    Hmmm di ko gets the feud about blogging about scarf and what dd has to do with it. My brain is antok na din siguro. Pasensya na TJ!. Speaking of donuts, you know what donuts I like? … Yung piso isa. pero baka 1.50 na. We buy them freshly fried from the kanto and then dunk it in chocolate davao na de batirol. Yum.

    I know that kind of donut AM but that is fried kaya di ko kaya yan. The tsokolate de batirol is also a bit oily. Though the combination is heavenly, hay, it is a bit unhealthy na. Pero masarap pa din :)

    Oh wait, I didn’t answer your question (sort of). This blogger (FilAm) blogged about the scarf being used by the Moslems when they do what they have to do with their hostages. Then DD pulled out the ad. I have some thoughts about this but I’d rather not make sawsaw to the issue. I just thought I would write a bit about it and let the links speak for themselves. Thanks :)
