When I saw this link posted to a friend's Facebook page the other day, he was chastizing the "Holocaust Chic" look of this overpriced tee at Urban Outfitters. I will not provide you with links as I will not honor their business with any click-throughs. Eff them.
This shirt is APPAULINGLY offensive to me:
Perhaps you are not picking up the reference. Lemme break it down for you.
During the Holocaust, Jews were ordered by the Nazis to sew this patch and ones like it onto their outer garments in order to mark them as Jews in public.
Last week, we had Holocaust Remembrance Day. It was fresh on my mind when I saw the link on my friend's page. Horrendous.
For $100, you too can look like a bullied, religious pariah who lost six million members of their faith in a horrible, despicable world war.
And today, this:
I suppose that's better however now there is just an ugly yellow tee priced at $100.

And on the solution (of which I'm too cynical to even consider it as truthful):
The manufacturer of this tee, Wood Wood, is a Danish company. Think the Danish weren't affected by the Holocaust? You would be quite wrong.
Shame on you, Urban Outfitters. That shirt should not have been up there a day, an hour, a minute. It was up there for far longer than that before someone finally took the hint. Shame on you.
