UNBELIEVABLE

A famous US donut brand made an advertisement.
The model's stylist decided to choose for her model to wear a scarf.
Now the ad campaign is being dropped because there have been claims that the scarf resembles "Muslim terrorists".

This scarf is worn by a large number of people of all ages, genders, races and sexual orientations across the world, apart from being the traditional scarf in most Arab countries, stretching from Turkey down to the Yemen and from Morocco across to Iraq for I don't know how many million people.

It so happens that certain people who we collectively call "terrorists", the foes of US foreign policy, also wear them, because some of them have Arab roots. But so do all Saudi princes and oil magnates, who the US is doing great business with day in day out and who own increasingly large assets (for example harbours!) in the US.



So shall we now stop advertisements where models wear suits, because it reminds other people of George Bush?
