Offensive cookies

Ted Kefalinos, who runs Lafayette French Pastry on Greenwich Avenue (a bakery that as been featured in InStyle magazine) has created...some cookies. Ostensibly in honor of President Obama.





Wow.

Yep. This guy created these "Drunken Negro Face" cookies for Martin Luther King day.

Kefalinos, who admits he is not a fan of the new president's policies, made about two dozen of the cookies on Monday and sold them all.

He has made other topical treats over the years, including "Dead Geese Bread" after the recent U.S. Airways crash in the Hudson River.

"I'm sorry that people were offended by the cookie," Kefalinos told the News Friday.

"We were just trying to make a large number of people happy, and instead we made a large number of people confused and angry."

The store received several prank calls, including from one person who told him to board up his windows this weekend.

Kefalinos was also informed that some parents who pick their children up from a nearby school, and often stop by to pick up cookies or coffee, plan a boycott.


Well, if you live in New York I know what bakery you shouldn't give your business to.
