TERROR FASHION UPDATE

Delias.com 'Peace Scarf' Becomes 'Euro Scarf' (LGF)

Delias.com's online clothing store for teenage girls has responded to complaints about the Palestinian terrorist symbol, the kaffiyeh, appearing in their catalog as a "Peace Scarf." Several LGF readers forwarded this form mail from them:

Dear dELiA*s Customer,

Thank you for your e-mail and concern regarding the scarf featured. We apologize that this item has offended anyone; this was not our intention. Please be assured that our company did not intend to imply any support for terrorism.

The name given to this item was originally suggested by our vendor and will be changed online immediately and in future catalogs. We continue to carefully reviewing each concern we receive.

Thank you,
dELiA*s Customer Service

They're still going to sell it; they're just changing the name. [ED. I DON'T SEE HOW CHANGING THE NAME MAKES THIS ANY LESS OFFENSIVE. IT JUST MAKES IT SILLIER, OR SADDER, DEPENDING UPON HOW PREVALENT YOU THINK THESE TERROR SHMATA'S ARE IN EUROPE.]

To: Euro Scarf.
