The stylist who put the scarf around Rachel, the director who allowed it to happen, the account exec who's responsibility it is to oversee the project for the client, the DD person who was at the shoot. In the ad world where, "What have you done for me lately?" is the motto, these people will all get their walking papers. The further down the food chain you are here, the more likely you "will never work in this town again." What a sad commentary on Political Correctness, do you feel the pendulum swinging yet?

Best quote in the Globe article? ‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column." Ha! Malkin + yowling = brilliant description! Dunkin really caved and it gave off the sense that they didn’t care or have the bandwidth to deal with the issue in a way that made them stand up against right wing crap.

When I heard about the story yesterday I screamed at the TV for Dunkin caving in to a couple of complaints about it. I would have had much more respect if they stood up and told them to "chill" - heck that could have made for a great tie in to their campaign. COMPLETELY agree Chris.
