Continuing on our Merry Way
MojoSteve has a rundown of the ridiculous, from Rachel Ray and Dunkin Donuts to the Myanmar tragedy:
The Powers That Be at Dunkinz pulled the ad over fears that they’d be boycotted after columnist Michelle Malkin and other conservative observers thought the scarf looked too much like a kaffiyeh, what Malkin describes as “the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad.” I’ve seen the ad, and it looks like Ray is wearing….GASP!!!! A scarf. I’ve seen kaffiyehs and this, friends, is not a kaffiyeh. You might be able to confuse Ray with The Joker, but not an operative for Hezbollah.
Many in the audience of Wayang Modern had a rude awakening:
There were many parents, children, and elderly people in attendance, who, it’s safe to say, were expecting to see a nice and light bit of late afternoon entertainment (it started at 6 o’clock). What they got instead was sexual innuendo, violence, and blood-curdling screams, a surprise R-rating instead of an expected G.
Well Geoff, look out. Joan’s brother has helped set two Guinness Book of World Records.
Rose shares her love of a bookstore during the heat of summer.
I will be updating the Big Blogroll and checking for stragglers for the rest of my afternoon. If you have a post that I overlooked this week please feel free to link in the comments.
Lastly, I’m looking for a few volunteers. I only need a few minutes of your time and you don’t even have to get up from the computer. Send me an email, heathersolos@gmail.com.
