Contacting Dunkin Donuts about giving in to Malkin?
I've already e-mailed them, but I'm so pissed off I may actually call as well. Has anybody here contacted them to express their concern about dropping the Rachel Ray commercial?

5. Rachel Ray appeared in a DD commercial wearing
...what Malkin described as a "palestinian scarf", RW heads exploded, the 101st keyboard warriors pelted DD with their faux outrage, and the rest is history.

3. Because of Their Actions, I Will Never Go to a Dunkin' Donuts Again
It was bad enough knowing the Carlyle group owned them, but this is just disgusting and a very stupid move by them too.

Once they caved to a bunch of right wing knuckledraggers and caved into their bigotry, no apology will bring me back there. And yes, I went there often enough. Dunkin Donuts lost my money and I will tell others to stop going there as well.

I find another coffee shop.

6. Oh -- you're going to become an elitist!
You have to drink crappy coffee and eat donuts that all taste the same in order to be a real American.

11. They are a Carlyle Group front.
Edited on Wed May-28-08 06:22 PM by nathan hale
Why would you entertain any discourse with them at all?

Surely good donuts are available through alternate avenues.

15. I'll just be going to the drive thru and ordering 3 0r 4 dozen fancy donuts
and then making a loud comment about just hearing on the radio they caved in to the idiots and canceled Rachel's ad so I'll be canceling my order.

16. I don't eat Bush Crime Family donuts.
Maybe I should? Now that Poppy is in charge, those jelly donuts with the "powdered sugar" might have an extra kick that even their coffee can't match.

18. That might be progress, actually.
It worked with no problems for me this morning. Maybe they're getting bombarded with complaints?
