As Twitchy reported, fashion company Zara — which previously found itself in hot water in 2007 for selling handbags embroidered with swastikas — has pulled a striped pajama shirt strongly resembling a Holocaust prison uniform following a public outcry.
When Kristen Johnston found out about it, she was livid:
HORRIFYING. What is WRONG w these stores??! "@Aly25: “@MommyRou: Hey #Zara, go f*ck yourself #Unfuckingbelievable pic.twitter.com/2SXlLJFY7s””

This isn’t the first time Johnston has publicly condemned a clothing company for crossing a line. Last year, she blasted fashion boutique Kitson for selling drug-themed shirts.
Sales must be really dire for stores like Zara, Urban Outfitters & Shitson- why else wld they sell items that make light of drugs & Nazis?

Johnston’s followers were equally repulsed:
@jodyvhfox @k_flyMN @kjothesmartass @Aly25 @ZARA they cannot be that blind. These were mass produced. How can you not notice?!

@MommyRou @Aly25 @kjothesmartass said shirt was modeled after the "old west"… Someone failed history.
