Jacket named for Nazi concentration camp; 'Belsen Was A Gas Military Parka' by Evil Twin label

[RamboLiberal]

A fashion label's decision to name one of their jackets for a Nazi concentration camp is more sick than chic.

Evil Twin, a Australian line of apparel with the logo "embrace your dark side," has dubbed its flannel-lined jacket the Belsen Was a Gas Military Parka.

The clothing line lifted the name from a Sex Pistols song from the 1978 album "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle."

-----

"Belsen was a gas, I heard the other day
In the open graves where the Jews all lay
'Life is fun and I wish you were here'
They wrote on postcards to those held dear."

2. Aren't the Sex Pistols really the tasteless ones here?

3. They always were

but that's no excuse for not having better taste 25 years later.

7. Yet Johnny Rotten supports the 'pugs, now-so they're taste still hasn't improved.

4. They should have named it "The Dick Cheney"

From his Auschwitz fiasco.

He's still Europe's leading fascist designer.

10. hmmmm...

The Aussie clothing company defines itself as "left-of-center everyday wear with a dash of avant garde … punk street styles with designer lines and glitzy, trashy '80s influences … wardrobe staples that make a statement."




they will probably be rare and rather collectible.
