Maybe we need a poll--who's the most annoying in a television commercial:

--Rachel Ray

Tread lightly when you speak of my future ex-wife.

Rachel is fond of 30 minute meals - not 30 second dudes.

Perhaps - but it's going to take me only 20 seconds to get her where she wants to be.  :-)

Are you making sticky pages out of Food Network Magazine again?

Oh, Rachel...you're a dirty, dirty girl...

Rachael Ray's controversial... scarf?
We never thought scarves could be "controversial," but then again, we've never had our neckwear critiqued by millions of people. Rachael Ray wore a fringed scarf for a recent Dunkin Donuts ad, and a blogger pointed out that scarf was similar to "the type typically worn by Muslim extremists." Others voiced their opinions and pretty soon, Dunkin Donuts pulled the ad. The New York Times recaps this textbook example of the Web's massive influence.
