A fashion-catalogue by Esprit (male and female fashion) showed photographs of a jacket in a way that the pattern on the English-made leather bottons used on it (I know them since my childhood, and so do you, for they are in wide-spread use since DECADES) eventually, maybe, possibly could be interpreted as swastikas. After receiving some complaints, they have withdrawn the complete edition of 200.000 pieces from the market. Nevertheless the state attorney in Düsseldorf is thinking about starting of preliminary proceedings on the ground of "use of unconstitutional symbols".

Man kann's auch übertreiben, oder...? Imagine four squares arranged in a 2x2 design - and you have your swastika. And those squared exercise booklets I have used in school - do they mean teachers have taught me Nazi-mathematics?
