Marketing Killers to the Clueless

UK clothing store ARK may be affiliated with Urban Outfitters (update: they don’t appear to be); their web site looks similar, their models are just as glassy-eyed, and they also sell the symbol of Palestinian terrorism, the kaffiyeh.

Urban Outfitters called their version, with no apparent irony, an “anti-war woven scarf.”

In Britain though, ARK dispenses with the “anti-war” hooey and openly names it after one of history’s most notorious murderers: Ark Arafat Scarf.

This season’s must have item! Arafat Scarf.

Unisex, vintage distressed Arafat scarf with traditional woven pattern and tasseles.

Ark’s best selling scarf this season! The perfect vintage accessory for everyones wardrobe!

100% cotton.

UPDATE at 3/22/07 10:58:20 am:

Somebody’s watching the referral logs over there. They’ve already changed the name of their kaffiyeh; now it’s the Ark Shemagh Scarf. Same murderous legacy though.

Hi, ARK guys! We see you.
