Urban Outfitters is under fire from the Anti-Defamation League over a T-shirt that bears a design that resembles a Star of David patch—you know, the kind worn by Jews during the Holocaust. Which means that Jews can now join the Navajo Nation, the Irish, independent jewelry designers, Miley Cyrus and parents on the illustrious list of groups and people who have been pissed off and/or offended by Urban Outfitters products.
“We find this use of symbolism to be extremely distasteful and offensive, and we are outraged that your company would make this product available to your customers,” Barry Morrison, regional director of the ADL, wrote in a letter to Richard A. Hayne, chairman and chief executive of Urban Outfitters. The "Kellog Tee" shirt, from Danish clothing brand Wood Wood, hasn't been taken down yet—but based on similar previous cases, we can't imagine it'll be up for much longer.
