It is generally a good rule to ignore those who purposefully seek to generate outrage, but there are times when even those who are hoping to be condemned for their behavior need to be obliged. The Urban Outfitters clothing store, which in the past has produced t-shirts designed to offend Irish-Americans and the Navajo Indian tribe, has sunk to new depths by marketing a Holocaust-themed t-shirt.
As The Daily reports, the chain’s “Wood Wood Kellog Tee” is a yellow t-shirt with a Star of David on the breast pocket that is a dead ringer for the same insignia Jews were forced to wear by the Nazis and their collaborators during the Holocaust. The Anti-Defamation League has rightly condemned this stunt, but let’s hope that unlike previous successful ploys by the store to generate a little buzz by pushing the buttons of other groups, this is not the end of the story.
