Thin is very much in, this year in Auschwitz. A gaggle of enviously thin models strutted their stuff while highlighting the latest fashion. This year, function rules the day over form, with black and gray striped tops AND bottoms getting all of the attention. Some models topped it off with a matching hat, while others featured workman's accessories such as shovels and hammers

"Okay, I want you to pretend you haven't eaten in several weeks."

When it initially opened in 2005, the architect of the Holocaust memorial, Peter Eisenman, created a stir by suggesting that visitors to the site should be allowed to picnic on the stones, and use it as a thoroughfare, enabling it to be integrated into the city's infrastructure.

yeah, i can see that not going over very well

How long til Iran denies the photoshoot ever took place?

Knees are too sharp.

Does this mean my plan to have a carnival at Ground Zero is a bad idea?

Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, "When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?"

Kyosuke: Knees are too sharp.

Good point. We'll have no improvised weapons here. Guards! Confiscate their knees!

so, it's not like they're having a BBQ or opening public showers...

come on people! you're supposed to be professionals!!! if you can't care enough about my work as a photo artish to drop a couple of baby fat pounds, i can't be bothered to work with you!!!

/hot, like an oven

But to belittle inhumanity is perfectly normal behaviour for those in the entertainment industry. No big deal.

Jewish you thought of it?


/sorry

Wow. This sounds like a deleted scene from Zoolander.

/sad

Most runway models look like they were just liberated from a camp, so maybe this fits after all.

How about we pretend
this never happened.

It's only offensive if they use plus sized models & food.

Like Kirstie Alley holding the glistening drumstick of a slow-roasted turkey.

Klassy.

Inappropriate ads? Say it ain't so...

foo monkey: Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, "When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?"

I thought about it, and even though it's over, I'm going to tell my wife about the afffair.

The Holocaust memorial in Berlin is AMAZING. Seriously. It's perfect.

However, it's obviously not the venue for something like this.

Throw on some gray, tattered work overalls and the models could be real life displays of Holocaust victims...

You know who else hated fashion?

Shakespeare's Monkey: Most runway models look like they were just liberated from a camp, so maybe this fits after all.

I can't believe it took this long in the thread for someone to point this out.

The sidebar was more interesting:
Editorial feud erects artistic six-metre penis

Postal Penguin: Throw on some gray, tattered work overalls and the models could be real life displays of Holocaust victims...

Maybe they could model some lamp shades too...

The Angry Hand of God: You know who else hated fashion?

Hitler had some of the coolest uniforms ever.

All I know for sure is there's more than a few bad ideas runnin' loose out there.




/and movie ideas there Nic, but that is an argument for another day.

Subnmitter probably could've added another REALLY or 2 to the headline.

I used to live in Berlin, and it always bugged me to see people do that. I once witnessed two young guys using the stones to hone their Parkour skills. I wasn't outraged, just slightly offended. For some reason it stung a bit.

I didn't know Eisenman encouraged that sort of conduct, but it's hardly an excuse.

//I miss Frisky Dingo

This is not kosher.

There's a lot of reason why people don't equate brains to the fashion industry. This is one of them.

Arbeit macht fashion!

Came for the Ballocaust, leaving satisfied.

Thanks, Hamilton_G_Fantomas

Couldn't be the Nazis, they were all about fashionism...err fashism..or something...

Hello, my name is Tatsuma, I've developed a sense of humor, and I actually believe the headline to be funny.


/then the world asploded

Reminds me of Wolfenstien 3D and not allowing a picture of Hitler to be shown.....the Germans are real nazis about this sort of thing.

I have mixed feelings about stuff like this. I was in Majdanek, possibly the most emotionally powerful of the camps/museums, and there were people having a picnic, and a kid flying a kite on the grounds. At first I was more than a little offended, but as I thought about it I became more conflicted. The day was absolutely gorgeous, 70's, sunny, and not humid, and a large part of the grounds are just open fields, how can you expect people who live nearby NOT to use the fields. How can we demand that they be sad all the time? Basically as long as they are respectful of those who are there with more serious purpose I am okay with them using the space as they see fit.

/I know, cool story and all that.

It's actually whom: Reminds me of Wolfenstien 3D and not allowing a picture of Hitler to be shown.....the Germans are real nazis about this sort of thing.

Wow. I've been a Tfer since 2004, and that might just have won the, "most offensive post evar" award.

One of the better gems from suck.com:

"The only difference between fashion and fascism is more emphasis on uniforms instead of ammunition."
