You clearly don't have any compassion and YOU WILL NEVER and I mean EVER say any offensive thing to any religion. I don't care WHO you're insulting. You're clearly an ignorant individiual and NO ONE will stand for you attempting to crack a joke. You're not funny. You're a sick-minded person. The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history and I (or anyone else for that matter)doesn't need your snide and rude comments disturbing minds and making mockery of the 6 million plus that died.

Jews were forced to wear a Yellow star, not a blue one. The Star wasn't embroidered it was pinned on. If you find this offensive you may as well find the the Maccabi Tel Aviv logo - blue star on yellow shirt - offensive. This has nothing to do with anti-Semitism or the Holocaust at all. It's just the ADL over reacting. As usual. That having been said Urban Outfitters is a stupid, overpriced place to shop for crappy knick knacks made in overseas sweatshops.

"Ghettopoly"? Their CEO, Richard Hayne, has donated $13,000 to Rick Santorum; it's something to think about the next time you're browsing their overpriced knockoff kitsch.
