Clothing giant Kenneth Cole tweeted this today on his Twitter page in an effort to promote his Spring 2011 clothing line. It worked. Understandably, his 9,000 followers, and the rest of the blogosphere, are in an uproar.

As I typed this post, Mr. Cole removed the insensitive tweet. He tweeted this moments ago, “I have removed this morning’s tweet. Please visit this link to see my apology.”
