Woman-child food/lifestyle guru Rachael Ray and Dunkin' Donuts have proudly announced their partnership, and Ray will soon begin appearing in Dunkin' Donuts ads.
The press release also declares, "Besides starring in TV spots, Ray will also lend her culinary perspective to the Dunkin' Donuts culinary team in the development of new, healthier options for food and beverages."
One commenter on the Rachael Ray Sux Community message board shot back, "Is she going to change the donut forever by deep-frying it in EVOO????" (For those of you who have not watched Ray on television, "EVOO" is Rachael-Speak for "Extra Virgin Olive Oil.")
And you know what would be a "new, healthier option for food and beverages"? Not eating at Dunkin' Donuts. Or at least cutting down on their crack-rock coffee.
Obviously, members of the Rachael Ray Sux Community are up in arms over this turn of events. Their initial post's title was "NOOOOOOOO!!!," and the post spawned 60 comments, many of which included threats to boycott Dunkin' Donuts. We wouldn't dare recommend that anyone go that far, but we do think that Dunkin' Donuts shouldn't be surprised if their latest move doesn't exactly appeal to everyone.

My roommate, upon hearing the news: "Two thoughts. First, Rachael Ray doesn't bake. So she wouldn't be the best consultant here. Second, the woman DOES NOT NEED any more coffee. Seriously. Hyped-up enough as it is. Be afraid."
NO! OMG. Dunkin Donuts, PLEASE do not do this. Please!!!
RR would do be more effective in an ad campaign for Ultra Slim Fast, assuming she could lose the ten or fifteen - junk in the trunk - that she usually carries.
