Glitters

Usually you make pretty good decisions, but this time I feel I need to step in and say something.

Bad idea. Don’t do it. You’ll regret it, big time.

OK, I’ll admit, that jacket looks really awesome on you. I get that it’s “vintage”. And, I understand your hipster credibility (though you deny you seek it) will skyrocket when you don it’s fine Prussian craftmanship.

But, I think you know why I object. At least, I hope you do.

Genuine Jew-bone buttons.

Even if you never told anyone (which I doubt you’d be able to resist), they would know. You’d, by proxy, be responsible for war attrocities on the scale of the Hindenburg (which, as you know, was marketed as a “Concentration Camp in the Clouds”).

For shame! You shouldn’t even consider it!!

Yes, it’s a great bargain. And those shiny gold buttons (for everyone knows Jew bones are marbled with rich ribbons of 14k gold) … hoo boy are they pretty!

But seriously, I don’t think you could handle the guilt associated with wearing a garment adorned with such hatred and genocide. It’s totally uncool. Totally.

Nazi gold, my friend, is still frowned upon, even after all these years.

Look, to help you out, I will just buy this jacket so it’s no longer a temptation for you, OK? I’ll buy it and only wear it when I don’t think I’ll run into you. I wouldn’t want to remind you of the terrible mistake you almost made.
