Hugor Hill Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Well... here is something lighter.http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/30512745/nordstrom-responds-to-hanukkah-sweater-complaints-discontinues-salesNordstrom responds to Hanukkah sweater complaints, discontinues sales.Not long after Target came under fire for an offensive Christmas sweater, retail giant Nordstrom received similar backlash.The item at the center of debate is the company's blue Hanukkah sweater meant for women, which featured a menorah on the front and the words "Chai Maintenance" above it."Chai" means life in Hebrew but is pronounced as "high.">> Read more trending storiesFacebook users felt the sweater portrayed Jewish women in a negative light and argued the sweater could be seen as anti-Semitic, according to a Chicago Tribune report. The company addressed for the mishap on Facebook and said it is pulling the sweater, unlike Target, which will continue to cell its Obsessive Christmas Disorder sweater despite complaints.A search for "ugly" on Nordstrom's website no longer yields the sweater.

Chalky Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 People need to stop being so easily offended, like holy crap.It's too the point where no one actually has to be offended to complain, it's people worried about someone being offended. SMH. Political correctness killed humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Liberals weren't the ones getting all huffy because Starbucks didn't have enough snowflakes on their Cups. It's almost like people on all sides have certain taboos.Ironically those same people were complaining that Starbucks was trying too hard to be inoffensive, when they were the only ones getting offended.I honestly thought that cup "controversy" was satirical the first few times I saw stories on it.Every group of people has it's idiots.

bigbadcanucks Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 To poke the PC bear, I'm going to order one of these sweaters and give it to my wife as a prank gift...and she's not even Jewish nor is she high maintenance. My wife's the funniest woman I know so she's going to appreciate the humor and will even wear it in public...on a dare. We're going to have a little private fun counting the nasty stares she gets.EDIT: and our Jewish friends will actually get a kick out of my wife wearing this sweater. They're actually quite aware of the stereotypes and have a sense of humor about it and are able to laugh about it. It's a shame that the PC police has made it so that we can't laugh at ourselves anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Love the casual ignorance.Do you enjoy being wrong?Liberals weren't the ones getting all huffy that there was a war on Christmas because Starbucks didn't have enough snowflakes on their Cups. It's almost like people on all sides have their taboos.Ironically those same people were complaining that Starbucks was trying too hard to be inoffensive, when they were the only ones getting offended.Of course. Conservative Christians playing their persecution complex card right on cue. But if it's not them whining about some stupid bull$&!#, wimpy liberals are there to fill the void. "That's racist!", "You're a bigot!", "You're an Islamaphobe!", "You're anti-semitic!". Terms and labels misunderstood and misused. These PC white knights are a detriment to self-expression and free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Got nothing to do with left vs right. People on the right get offended at lots of things, like homosexuality and atheism. Sure it does. It's always the far left playing PC cop any time someone or something pokes fun or critically assesses a minority, or a religion. In this case it was neither but they wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't complain about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case it was neither but they wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't complain about it. And it is always the far right complaining about people's right to choose such as abortion and alternative lifestyle. Everyone complains about things that they don't like, regardless of left vs right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Gotcha. Just another soft and politically correct individual.Totally, it'd be so much better if we could just go back to calling retards retards, gays, women, blacks and everyone else not like you offensive things out of fear and ignorance. All this hippy socialist 'equality' bs is so lame. Ahh the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Goblin Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 This "controversy" just helped Target advertise the sweater. The saying "there's no such thing as bad press." seems to be true.If you don't like it, don't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
