Keffiyeh Not an Israeli Scarf
http://www.reuters.com/resources/flash/include_video.swf?edition=UK&videoId=102115 I am posting this Reuters video about the growing popularity of the keffiyeh/kuffiyah/kufiya among Israelis as a preemptive strike against future claims that it is an Israeli scarf. If I had the foresight and was alive then, I would have done the same for falafel and hummous. They take our land, claim our food, [...]
What is UO thinking?
Really? With a generic description that makes no reference to the etched centerpiece, Urban Outfitters’ advertises a brown “leather and rope” الله bracelet for $8 on their website. First the Kuffiyah Kontroversy of 2006 and now this. I don’t understand the motivations of the buyers for UO in this case either. Shock Value or New [...]
The Kuffiya Kraze: Still Going Strong
And I thought Arafat‘s DSLs brought sex appeal to the kuffiya… As usual, Paris Hilton brings it raunchy-style with this Swarovski rhinestone lined “FREE PARIS” t-shirt — that could be yours for the very low price of only $129.95. [Tarboush Tip: Miggity Miggity Matt]
This is Michelle Malkin.
This is Michelle Malkin on a keffiyeh. Any questions? [Sadly No!]
The Deutschbag Keffiyeh
This is what happens when you miss checking your RSS feed for about a month or two. A German artist has produced a keffiyeh-inspired pattern for the erectile-dysfunctionite communists among us with the penchants for illicit drugs, butt plugs, and safer sex. The pattern incorporates hammers and sickles, Viagras, condoms, and various objects to be [...]
REPORT: Keffiyehs allow Whites to be picked out of crowds for dating or mocking purposes
From STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE: “I like the guy in the white American Apparel shirt with the glasses.” “Which one? there are eight.” “The guy with the keffiyeh.” “Oh yeah, you’re right. He does look smarter and more political than the other guys. He’s clearly more sensitive to wind, so he’s probably more sensitive in [...]
Does America Run on Racism?
This was the precise question a haphazardly conceived and executed social experiment sought to answer: Two Sundays ago, I broke out and dusted off my acrylic paints, smoothed out the wrinkles on a heavily discounted, plain white AA tee, and proceeded to make a worthy case study for Will’s famous interest in Arab American protest [...]
Reason #12,033,343,343,01 why capitalism sucks
After a global campaign was launched to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts for its bigotted removal of a commercial featuring one Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that looked a little too Arab (see: “Dunkin’ Zionuts“) the reaction from the UAE’s Dunkin’ Donuts regional offices is not surprising in the least. If they would have supported the boycott [...]
OLBERMANN: Boycott Dunkin’ Donuts for giving into fascists like Michelle Malkin
The [Worst Person in the World] winners tonight: Dunkin’ Donuts of Canton, Massachussetts. The unbearable Rachael Ray in an ad for the donut and coffee chain to which the lunatic fringe responded in an apoplexy of xenophobic paranoia because that — that thing around her neck, that is not just a stupid scarf, they think [...]
America Does Away With Algebra and the Numeral System
Because, just like the “scarf,” it is “too Arab” . Although Will already posted on this, I think it is worth re-opening an already active discussion by shedding some light on the cyber responses to the pulling of Dunkin Donut’s online AD featuring Rachael Ray. In a post about the DD commercial, The Huffington Post [...]
