After moaning about Dunkins in my last post. . .

At least they got this much right: how to handle potentially/actually offensive content in an ad.

From the linked article, about a Dunkin' Donuts spokesperson wearing a scarf that unintentionally resembled the keffiyeh, a scarf symbolic of Palestinian jihad:

“Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial," the company said in a statement.

They pulled the ad entirely because of a possible misunderstanding of its meaning.

To Coreana (who merely rephrased a slogan and narration and attempted to smooth over a Nazi reference, and to my knowledge, is still running the offensive ad): are you listening?


(Update: Seoulpodcast says Coreana did pull the ad, finally, in mid-April.)
Hat tip to Sonagi and Gypsy Scholar.

(meanwhile, I can hear sirens in the distance from the beef protests. Hundreds, maybe thousands of North Koreans die weekly in death camps or of starvation, and South Koreans save their outrage for American beef imports???)
