Kenneth Cole Redefines Classy With Cairo Tweet
Taking to Twitter, Kenneth Cole appropriated the #Cairo hashtag and tweeted: "Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at http://bit.ly/KCairo -KC." Good stuff, Kenneth! Way to show the world that America isn't full of naive opportunists intent on hawking olive drab chic.
UPDATE: After the Internet exploded, Kenneth Cole kinda apologized.
UPDATE #2: Now Kenneth Cole is really sorry. The original tweet has been deleted, and he's issued an apology through Facebook. Some Facebook fans aren't buying it, and an @BPGlobalPR-style parody account has popped up.

Does anyone have a sense of humor?
morgan sFeb 3rd 2011 3:35PM
@wongtpa No. because they are petty. I thought it was pretty clever myself. People take things too seriously now. I'm sure that those that cried about it really didn't get their feeling hurt over it. People just need to quit being petty and laugh. This world could use a lot more laughter instead of whining.

I think thsi makes more sense than all the US media telling us what a bad guy this leader was when they said NOTHING for 30 years...What hipocrits
morgan sFeb 3rd 2011 3:38PM
Whoever whined over this, really needs to get a hobby. He shouldn't have even apologized. It's his right to say what he wants.

While I'm sure it wasn't said with ill intent, its not funny. There are people who are terrified to leave their homes, & people are being killed. I do not think that that is anything to joke about.

Don't like KC's Tweets? Don't read them.
It's an account for ads, not news or social responsibility...not that Twitter would be a place for that to be taken seriously either. Essentially, people chose to view a commercial here and were angry that it was a commercial.
Egypt didn't get hit by a meteor or something else they couldn't help, so the exaggerated sensitivity isn't doing anyone any good.

"Millions shocked in US #TusconShooting. Rumor has it someone was upset our sale ended online..."
What..? Not funny? It's only a joke, right?
My point: any communication from a company that uses a crisis to promote commerce is a) pretty damn insensitive and b) pretty bad marketing.
