Dunkin Donuts on Wabash Street in downton Chicago

The end of December in Chicago can get a little chilly. Luckily, it was a nice day for November 29th, but after three plus hours of walking around, we started to get a chill. There are Starbucks on every corner and J had been wanting to try their Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate. We went by half a dozen Starbucks, but every one of them was packed. On top of that, none of them had any seating, so we couldn’t sit and warm up. We would have had to take our drinks back out into the cold.

As we were walking through the Jewelery District on Wabash, we went by a Dunkin Donuts. They had some seating inside and their drinks are cheaper than Starbucks. Still, we kept going to see if we could find a Starbucks. We got to the corner and J said if we can’t see a Starbucks from the corner we were standing on, we’d just go to Dunkin. Well, we could see a Starbucks, but it was just like all the others, so back to Dunkin we went. Read the rest of this entry »

Stupidest News Story This Year…

29 05 2008

I didn’t know what to think when I saw this article.

BOSTON – Dunkin’ Donuts has pulled an online advertisement featuring Rachael Ray after complaints that a fringed black-and-white scarf that the celebrity chef wore in the ad offers symbolic support for Muslim extremism and terrorism.

The coffee and baked goods chain said the ad that began appearing online May 7 was pulled over the past weekend because “the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee.”

In the spot, Ray holds an iced coffee while standing in front of trees with pink blossoms.

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf wrapped around her looked like a kaffiyeh, the traditional Arab headdress. Critics who fueled online complaints about the ad in blogs say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

I’m a lot more conservatives that most bloggers and even I think this is ridiculous. If anything, it’s just any ugly scarf. Why in the hell would anyone think Rachel Ray is a terrorist? She butchers the English language and annoys the crap out of most of society with her text messaging inspired abbreviations, but to suggest there’s a hidden agenda in this photograph is ridiculous.
