CNN.com - HK store's Nazi theme sparks fury - Aug. 10, 2003
This chain clothing store thought, in their limited wisdom, that Nazi symbols would be a perfect theme for clothing and decorations. Of course, this pissed off a lot of people for obvious reasons. Deborah Cheng, the companies marketing idiot.. I mean manager... said:
Cheng added that the designer wanted the clothes to have a military theme and did not realize that the Nazi symbols would be considered offensive.
Is this dolt living under a rock? I guess clothing stores in HK don't do much marketing research. They are "considering" taking the things down, but need to find a new theme first. Here are some suggestions for new imagry for themes:
* Burning crosses behind lynched blacks
* A large mushroom cloud over Japan
* Tibetan monks being killed by Chinese soldiers
* A slogan "North Korea Needs 'The Bomb'!"
* Images of praying Muslims falling into hell
* Sacraficing of a baby to the Tree Gods
If Nazi imagry wouldn't be found offensive, these suggestions would certainly be marketing gold!
Posted by Kevin at August 10, 2003 01:40 PMThe symbol that you are talking about is an old symbol. The knights cross. There is no swastica in the midle and is therefore not a nazi symbol.
But as usual,somebody has to whine about it. A lot of people drive Volkswagen but that's o.k?
Read up on the history dumb ass!
