After Target got everyone riled up with their “OCD: Obsessive Christmas Disorder” sweater last week, another holiday-related sh*tstorm is brewing. Now it’s a Hanukkah sweater by the label Faux Real that reads
“Chai Maintenance… Hannukah J.A.P”
The initials stand for “Jewish American Princess”. Customers on Nordstrom‘s Facebook page were NOT pleased, with one post calling it “degrading.” They have stopped selling the sweater as a result of the feedback. A spokesperson for the department store said,
“We made a mistake by not looking more closely at the words on the sweater before we posted it — had we done so, we wouldn’t have offered it. As soon as we heard from customers, we removed it from our site right away. We’re terribly sorry for offending people and sincerely apologize.”
The O.C.D. sweater was dismissed by many with the disease but I can see why some might think this one is different. What do you think? A silly holiday sweater or a degrading message in yarn? Sound off on our Facebook page.
