I Knew I Didn't Trust That Rachel Ray

In fact, I find her to be even more annoying than novelty ringtones . . . coming from those should be legal to beatdown or relentlessly ridicule to the point of permanent emotional scaring the d-bags wearing the even more annoying cellphone earpiece . . . and diarrhea . . . combined . . . at the same time.

The website Phat Phree did a fine job taking my exact thoughts on the subject just a step further (as they also seem to do. . .they complete me), "Rachel Ray is passionate about food. In fact, if you and her and some indeterminate meat wrapped in bacon were on a sinking ship and she could only save one, which do you think she'd pick? The answer is bacon, but bacon is the answer to so many of life’s questions. I don’t trust her smile."

So, yea, you get the point. Well, apparently someone else not only refuses to program her show in their DVR, but also thinks little Rachel is a puppy killing, apple pie hating, non-American flag lapel pin wearing . . . terrorist.

I knew it !!!

Rachael Ray ad pulled as pundit sees terror link
Malkin claimed scarf similar to those worn by murderous Islamic extremists

Dunkin' Donuts pulled a television spot featuring talk show host and Food Network personality Rachael Ray this weekend after a Fox news commentator associated it with terrorists.

In the ad, Ray is wearing a scarf that Michelle Malkin said in her nationally syndicated column resembled a kiffiyeh, Middle Eastern garb that is "popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos."

Dunkin's Senior Vice President for Communications Margie Myers issued a statement saying the scarf "was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. "However, as of this past weekend, we are no longer using the online ad because the possibility of misperception detracted from its original intention to promote our iced coffee."

In her column, Malkin also noted that it could appear at times that actor Colin Farrell, rapper Kanye West and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean have been photographed in similar scarves that were "distinctive hate couture."

St. Louis double(Radio)header

I just spent an amazing two days in St. Louis with my boy Josh that included:

enjoy some tasty morsels from the show:

"Myxomatosis", "Idioteque", "Fake Plastic Trees", and my favorite point of the show "You and Whose Army?" (though you can't really tell, the video and lighting displays were mindblowing, especially during this song)

"Myxomatosis"

"Idioteque"

"Fake Plastic Trees"

"You and Whose Army?"

Hey, you guyyyyys !!!

In another fit of nostalgia, PBS is bringing back The Electric Company, updated to fit today's audience. For those of you who remember The Electric Company, this signals a return to high-brow, genuinely funny educational entertainment that doesn't pander to its audience. For those who don't, it's something we all watched before the internet was invented ...
