Urban Outfitters sells Hillary Clinton nutcracker
Urban Outfitters has brought back its Hillary Clinton "nutcracker" doll.
If it's a new shopping season, it's a new opportunity to offend for Urban Outfitters.
The last time anyone paid attention to the Philadelphia-based clothing retailer, it had caused a small commotion by introducing a Kent State sweatshirt splattered with fake bloodstains.
That cute little fashion statement was just another in the chain's long history of offensive products. Remember Ghettopoly (2003) or its pro-booze shirts for kids (2012)?
For Christmas 2014, Urban Outfitters has brought back its Hillary Clinton "nutcracker" doll. Sixty bucks buys a 10-inch doll decked out in an enameled blue pants suit.
"Stainless steel thighs!" the package trumpets. "Is America Ready for this Nutcracker?"
No word on whether Urban also plans to peddle the companion "Corkscrew Bill" toy advertised on the manufacturer's website.
