Cooking.com Selling Rachael Ray BEDDING [This Is What's Wrong With America]
Posted on May 20th 2009 by Jillian Madison

I can understand a site called Cooking.com selling Rachael Ray’s pastry bowls and spatulas. I can even understand how they could get away with selling Rachael Ray’s Yum-O t-shirts and aprons. But Cooking.com selling Rachael Ray’s BEDDING AND BATH TOWELS? Come on.

rachael-ray-bedding

It’s silly enough that a woman who built a career in television and food is selling a line of BEDDING AND BATH TOWELS to begin with, but the fact that they are being hawked on a site that is all about COOKING is just outright ridiculous. What’s next? Will they have a special section for Paula Deen’s reading glasses? Or a hygiene section with a Guy Fieri-branded goatee trimmer?

In the wise, wise words of  Susan Powter, “STOP THE INSANITY!”

    People. Will. Buy. Anything.

  2. Jen says:

    I was half-expecting that to be called “Vermicelli”.

  3. sasha says:

    I didn’t even know Rachael Ray HAD bedding. Wow. I’m speechless. That has no business on cooking.com. I just lost a modicum of respect for them.

  4. dan says:

    VERCELLI BEDDING? What, like they’ll sell more of it because it has a fake Italian name?

  5. Byrdie says:

    After much soul searching, all I can muster up is I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED. Maybe it’s time to STOP WATCHING ANY RR SHOW and watch her ratings (and popularity) drop like a cheap prom dress. I for one am willing to take that pledge.

  6. Tatiana says:

    I don’t want to think of Rachael and the word bed in the same thought.

  7. Marla says:

    Can you say…. Martha Stewart. These people will sell anything for a buck. Martha has been hocking her shit for years and years. That woman will put MS on a box of popcicle sticks for crafting. So RR is no different than any of the other Celeb Chefs…!

  8. Jake says:

    Does anyone know where I can buy some of Fieri’s wonderful knuckle sandwich sweatbands so I can look more dopey than I currenty do ?

  9. Daria says:

    I thought the same thing as Marla, it sounds like she is trying to become the next Martha Stewart.

  10. Byrdie says:

    Hey, that’s not a terrible thing cause maybe RR will end up in prison for scamming too! The scam?? That she has talent and can cook.

  11. Kittykitty says:

    Ugly, cheap, breakable cookware, and now this. Dear God, make it end – *bangs head into wall repeatedly* – please, make it END!

  12. Patty O. Furniture says:

    The bedding is also available on FN’s shop. But I guess that’s not terribly surprising since FN hasn’t really been about food for quite some time.

  13. Molix says:

    In Martha Stewart’s defense, she’s allowed to sell home decorating crap because she actually does more in the bedroom than just advance her career.

  14. Jimmy Jim says:

    So true Molix – but again who would want to touch that old hag stiff Martha anyway? At least Rachael is hot!

  15. Automne says:

    It makes sense that Martha Stewart would sell bedding and towels and stuff because she created her empire on domestic stuff in general, not just one area. RR, however, is completely based upon cooking and food (or what she thinks is cooking and food), so there is no reason to be selling anything not culinary-related.

    Personally, I blame Oprah.

    And you’re welcome!

  16. Kitty says:

    THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.

  17. Spice Weasel says:

    That woman will slap her name on anything… thus the dog food? Not that she had ANY credibility before. Do you think she ever steps back and looks at this “empire” she’s building and wonder what on earth is sustaining it? Is there someone out there in middle america that thinks she’s an authority on anything? OH, don’t get me started…

  18. Spice Weasel says:

    Oh, and Jimmy Jim, define “hot”.

  19. Byrdie says:

    HOT?? Jimmy Jim, what the hell? Do you need glasses or therapy?

  20. Jimmy Jim says:

    Hey I like big butts! And c’mon she does have a pretty face. You guys are tough!

  21. Byrdie says:

    Realists, babe. Realists.

  22. Lizzy says:

    At this point I think RR would put her name on dog pooh if
    she could make a buck. Granted if people will buy it then
    so be it but does there not come a time when you have no
    self respect left?

  23. Jennifer says:

    LOL, I actually bought this bedding set and it was an awesome deal and really nice. I found this site because I was googling to see if there were any drapes from her to match this set. Too funny! Not a fan of hers at all and have never watched her show, but this bedding had the color combo I was looking for and the price was a steal. Go Ray Ray!

  24. Freezezzy says:

    Hmm…

    Suggested Retail: $199.99
    Our Price: $199.95 (exactly 4 cents less, wow, what a deal)
    Special: $89.99

    You think maybe they’re having a hard time selling these? Maybe it’s because the people who go to this site don’t think to look for BEDDING on a site called COOKING.COM.

  25. Katie says:

    Hello! The woman markets a freaking GARBAGE BOWL! Are you really surprised by this? Foodnerwork and their minions have become Disney for adults! They’re everywhere in everything.
