				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><a href="http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2015/02/urban-outfitters-provokes-outrage-with-holocaust-t.html" target="_blank">After yet another Urban Outfitters controversy, in which they used Holocaust concentration camp uniforms as design inspiration</a>, the company has announced plans to create a Human Decency department, and are currently looking for someone to head up this division.</p>
</div>
<div>&#8220;It&#8217;s been really hard, you know,&#8221; said Sunflower Kensington, Urban Outfitters media rep during a recent press conference. &#8220;The design team will find this hilarious mass murder and find a way to commemorate it through totally awesome clothes and home goods and then everyone just gets SOOOOO UPSET.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>The recent tapestry controversy, in which the company sold grey and white tapestry that was almost an exact replica of a concentration camp uniform, is one of many troublesome items designed by the company. Just five months ago, their $129 Kent State sweatshirt, complete with fake blood splatter, recalled the 1970s massacre at the university.</p>
</div>
<div>&#8220;We&#8217;re just really hoping for someone you can just, like, tell us when stuff is not cool, you know? Because like how am I supposed to just KNOW that you don&#8217;t want to hang a reminder of the systemized slaughter of millions of people on your wall? Like everyone has different tastes, am I right?&#8221; said Kensington.</p>
</div>
<div>Describing their ideal candidate, Kensington said, &#8220;Basically, we just need someone to be &#8216;Office Mom.&#8217; That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re almost definitely hiring a woman, she&#8217;ll be forced to wear mom jeans and our spring of 2015 &#8216;Total Soccer Mom!&#8217; t-shirt, and her office will be in the kitchen so that she can have fresh-baked office chocolate chip cookies ready every day at 4:00.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div>Interested parties can apply for the position on the Urban Outfitters website.</div>
