In May 2008 Dunkin' Donuts pulled an advertisement with Rachel Ray touting a cup of iced coffee because she was wearing a scarf that resembled a kuffiyeh.
This is our response as kuffiyeh-wearing coffee drinkers to those who would associate the scarf with terrorism.
The link to this blog will be sent to a Dunkin' Donuts Public Relations Representative along with a demand for a public apology. Otherwise, here's to our last cup of Dunkin' Donuts Coffee!
If you want to take part in this campaign send a photo of yourself wearing a kuffiyeh while posing with a Dunkin' Donuts product to koffeeyehs@gmail.com. Please include the city in which you live. We will not include your name.
Please note that we are not trying to counter efforts others may be making to boycott Dunkin' Donuts. In fact, we are in favor of a boycott if a PR Representative does not issue a public statement in response to our campaign. Besides, we'd all like just one more cup of that tasty coffee (OK, and maybe a munchkin, or two) :p
