Internet Outraged Over Kenneth Cole Tweet

The internet is in a snit today over a tweet sent by fashion house Kenneth Cole that used the current civil unrest in Egypt (and the #Cairo hashtag) to advertise its new collection. Kenneth Cole is worse than Mubarak! [Updated]

Update: Cole has issued an apology and since deleted the tweet.
