8460: Kenneth Cole’s Cairo Comedy.


Admittedly not a Twitter enthusiast, so forgive the potential ignorance behind this post. Kenneth Cole has been taking criticism for a Tweet that made light of the situation in Egypt. What’s the issue here? Others are using the civil unrest for comic inspiration. Plus, like it or not, Cole has always injected political commentary into advertising. MultiCultClassics presumed the retailer was playing off the protestors brandishing shoes, tying it to sales of his fancy footwear.
