The Funniest @KennethColePR Tweets Yet (PICTURES)

First Posted: 02/03/11 03:44 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:30 PM ET

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the images coming out of Egypt over the past few days have said a lot about a people facing violence to avoid oppression. Now we know what you're thinking: great time to launch a tongue-in-cheek marketing campaign, right? Well, that's what the official Kenneth Cole Twitter account did with this tweet today, much to the chagrin of people everywhere.

While the official Kenneth Cole account tweeted an apology two hours later, that didn't stop one anonymous Twitter user to launch a hysterical parody account called @KennethColePR, dedicated to lampooning the designer's carelessness.

This obviously fake account is reminiscent of the much-lauded @BPGlobalPR, an account that popped up shortly after the oil spill in the gulf, and has been relating various tragedies to Kenneth Cole sales and styles in its tweets all day. We've gathered a list of the most ridiculous ones so far below. Vote for the funniest one!

We really need to lighten up here in the U.S.  

We've become more uptight than the British.  :)

His choice of wording, timing, and subject was totally wrong and very insensitive. But I do not think he meant it in a negative way...and he is sorry after all.

What gets me is Egyptians are fighting for their dignity, their right to be respected and to be taken seriously...they are fighting with their lives and what does a mediocre at best rich American clothes designer do? Trivializes their fight. He can apologize until he is blue in the face but what he did will be a stain on his character forever.

People, this is a parody twitter account made in response to KC's off color tweet he made today. It's not Kenneth Cole. But it is really funny.

I have to admit I really didn't see what the big deal was when he made that tweet. And these @KennethColePR tweets are 10x worse and 12x funnier.

Hello? Is there anyone there? Misleading headline made you think these were actual Kenneth Cole tweets. Can't you at least read the story before you post?
As for the fake tweets, No. 9 is pure evil. Somebody should have been decent enough to engage in a little self-censorship.

Why exactly is No. 9 "pure evil"? Oh, are you one of the people that still wnat to use th 9/11 mantra for every little thing? Lighten up. All of these fake-tweets were intended to be a bit on the "offensive" side...that was the point. Doesn't change the fact that they are hilarious.
