Think you are cool in your Kuffiyah?

And they are making fun of you. Stop co-opting their culture, Infidel! Your ignorance of the kuffiyah’s symbolism is painful to them - they are very sensitive you know. Anyway, I have been informed that the Kuffiyah, like the Che T-shirt, is passe, and perhaps you should move onto something even better:
Fresh Jive Victimized Tee
From Urban Outfitters. They have connected the dots for you.
Update - oh - too bad - Urban Outfitters took my photo away. You will have to click the Fresh Jive link to see the lovely t-shirts - Oh wait - it’s gone! Yay! LGF gets stuff done!

[...] anyone who still doubted, the keffiyah is NOT just a pretty scarf. I know we’ve told you this before but maybe, if we repeat it enough, you’ll stop wearing the damn “Peace Scarf.” [...]
