Zara, a Spanish clothing chain, pulled a skirt from its website after people pointed out that an applique cartoon character on it bore a striking resemblance to "Pepe the Frog," a fictional frog that has been adopted by "alt-right" groups.
Meagan Fredette, a freelance writer from Chicago, was the first person to point it out. She said she was browsing Zara's site Monday evening when she noticed the skirt. She tweeted about it and then went to sleep, assuming nothing would come of it.
By Wednesday, the skirt was no longer available on Zara's website. The retailer confirmed to several news outlets that the item had been pulled from real and virtual shelves. (Zara did not respond to emailed requests for comment from The Times.)Fucking projection thy name is whatever the fuck person tweeted this garbage. This picture looks nothing like Pepe.On Wednesday, Furie said via email that Zara had not sought his permission to use Pepe the Frog’s likeness.
The skirt in question was designed by a Spanish artist, Mario de Santiago, as part of Zara's "Oil-On-Denim" collection, which launched this month in stores and online. In a statement, the company said de Santiago created the design based on a painting he made with friends several years ago and that it had “no link to the suggested theme.”
Pepe does not wear glasses, and has way darker lips. Also there's two figures on the skirt. Not only that but this article just goes out of its way to just bash Zara over other projected stuff and more manufactured outrage. Why the hell does anyone take the ADL seriously? A bunch of people get together and decide that a cartoon character is a symbol of hate. And then people come out and support them. This is almost as retarded as the Wendy's Pepe incident.
