“The shirts get people talking about Urban,” senior Jordan Nakahara said.
“If we can’t laugh at ourselves…we’ll continue to live in blame and bitterness.” “It draws on stereotypes not as a means to degrade, but as a medium to bring together in laughter,” creator of “Ghettopoly” David Chang told The Week magazine. It’s completely outrageous and mind boggling as to why any company would put itself through such ridiculousness. So,they dress provocatively and stress about being skinny because that’s what they think being older is all about.” “Now you hear 12 year olds complaining about how they’re fat and how they wish they were older. “Most of the kids you see in that store are younger,” senior Aditi Vepa said. These three shirts have caused an uproar among the public for many obvious reasons causing shoppers not only to wonder why the store would release such items, but also to stop supporting the store. The products that have caused the most outrage include the Jewish Star shirt (clearly alluding to the Holocaust), the Palestinian “Victimized” shirt (supporting terrorism), and the “Eat Less” shirt (modeled by an unnaturally skinny girl). Starting with “ghettopoly” – a ghetto version of monopoly – to one of the most recent “Wood Wood Kellog tee” more commonly recognized as the Jewish Star shirt, Urban Outfitters seems to have lost its taste, and frankly its common sense.
As early as 2003, the widely popular store Urban Outfitters, has been releasing rather offensive products.
