Dunkin' Donuts

As somebody who is Arab as you might know, I thought it was a little ridiculous that Dunkin' Donuts recently pulled their ads because some right wing bloggers erroneously thought that Rachel Ray was wearing a keffiyeh, a common Middle Eastern article of clothing. Of course, the bloggers didn't say it was Middle Eastern clothing, they said it was "terrorist clothing," and that she was somehow furthering the terrorist agenda (whatever that is. Terror? Isn't it creating terror when a blogger cries terrorist every two seconds?) Anyway, that's totally lame. Like what if Coke did an ad with a black person and then some Neo-Nazi blogger said it was clear Coke was associating itself with inner city gang violence? That's racist and ridiculous, and I'm ashamed that we live in the twenty-first century and somehow this kind of stuff is ok, and all you have to do is yell "terrorist and a company caves into your demands. So I guess I'll continue my twenty-eight year streak of boycotting Dunkin' Donuts because there have never been any near where I live and also Krispy Kreme is way better.

RATING: 2%

Krispee Kreme is strictly for fat retards, trixies and Koreans. Everyone who's anyone knows that the real coffee and donuts come from Tim motherfucking Horton's.

Some of us can't get Tim Horton's if we live further south than New York state.

You can get the equivalent effect of a large cup of Tim Horton's coffee by railing two lines of meth, smoking a king-size cigarette and then hitting yourself in the kidneys a couple of times with a mallet. It's excessive, but faster than commuting.

I like Tim Horton's, but I like Koreans more.

While I would never condone the panderin' and weirdness that the Dunkin' is perpetratin', I do really dislike Rachel Ray. So I'm torn, but not much, because scary ignorance and fearmongerin' is so much worse than someone occasionally usin' the word "yummo" and showin' up on every billboard and commercial in Massachusetts/RI.

And for the record, Dunkin' Donuts > Krispy Kreme.

P.S. - Let's misspell "donut" and use -in' instead of -ing. Forever.

Krispy Kreme is weak.

I just realized that NYC has been overrun by terrorists masquerading as hipsters! On nos!

laurie said...

Oh and Krispy Kreme kicks Dunkin Donut ass on a daily basis. Stupid NYC needs to catch on to this so I don't have to go all the fucking way to Penn Station to get freakin doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme tried to sink its hooks into New York in the late 90s. epic FAIL.

Maybe it's a regional thing. In the south we like our food to be unhealthy and full of taste, and in the north you all like bagels.

Krispy Kreme looks way too perfect to be a donut. It's the most symmetrical piece of food on Earth.
