"The Internet is buzzing with anger today following a tweet on fashion designer Kenneth Cole's account that many feel makes light of the protests in Egypt.\nThe tweet in question reading \"Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at http://bit.ly/KCairo -KC\" went up about four hours ago, and still remains on Twitter.\nAn apology, however, has been issued via a tweet reading: \"Re Egypt tweet: we weren't intending to make light of a serious situation. We understand the sensitivity of this historic moment -KC\"\nWe've reached out the Kenneth Cole's camp for more info on why the original tweet was sent. \nCole made a similarly indelicate statement in the past; following 9/11, he told the New York Daily News: \"Important moments like this are a time to reflect... To remind us, sometimes, that it's not only important what you wear, but it's also important to be aware.\"\nThe Twitterverse, unsurprisingly, is not happy with Cole's 140-character missive. A fake account \u2014 @KennethColePR, \u00E0 la @BPGlobalPR \u2014 has even cropped up, mocking the designer with such tweets as: \"Our new slingback pumps would make Anne Frank come out of hiding! #KennethColeTweets.\"\nWhat do you think of Cole's gaffe? Should he take down the tweet? Weigh in, in the comments section."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
