Dunkin' Donuts+Whining Wingnuts=Keffiyeh Kontroversy
I'm really of two minds here. Obviously Malkin's view is as rational and defensible as one could expect from a paranoid sociopath who should not be allowed any form of public expression not mediated by large doses of psychotropic drugs and/or electroshock therapy. I mean, the fucking thing is clearly not what Malkin says it is (unless she really does associate paisley with Hamas, a not altogether unlikely scenario given her politics and mental state).
On the other hand, I've been on a jihad against this type of neckwear for a while now. In fact, I rather fancy myself the Osama bin Laden of the anti-keffiyeh movement. As stupid trends go, its near total and unrelenting ubiquity among unwashed, skinny-trousered hipsters would be enough to make anyone vomit up their Ice Cappucino. Factor in the whole cultural appropriation thing and the fact that it's not a scarf but something you wear on your fucking head and, well, I'm having a hard time seeing the downside of demonizing this particular sartorial shenanigan.
I only hope one of these guys would turn up wearing goddamn ugly '80s eyewear. That's another ridiculous fashion trend I wouldn't mind shipping straight to some black site somewhere, never to be heard from again.
