It is incredible and it only underscores how polarised America is at times.

Reading crap like this makes me want to rush out and buy a scarf of my own. What a bunch of morons. Do I support human rights abuse in China by using chopsticks? No! What's more worrying is that the ad has been pulled in response. Such actions just perpetuate this kind of reactionary nonsense.

Totally daft! You could argue that people in suits represent large corporate community destroying immoral businesses... but nobody would think to do such a thing - would they? I'm astounded by the lack of rationality some people have.

I didn't realise it was a middle-Eastern item of dress - I thought it was the creation of really naff 1980s German students.

This story makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Especially the bit about Donuts being Crack for Kids - I doubt many kids have ruined their whole lives in order to get one more jam filled treat.

Thanks for the warning, I didn't realise that Shoreditch and Camden were so dangerously full of fundamentalists! Here was me thinking people were just daft for wearing scarves in the summer!
