EasyJet pulls in-flight magazine over Holocaust fashion shoot | Business | guardian.co.uk

The budget airline easyJet has been forced to withdraw almost 300,000 copies of its in-flight magazine because of protests over its use of Holocaust memorial sites as a backdrop for a fashion feature.

An eight-page spread in the November edition of the magazine, easyJet Traveller, depicted models posing at the Jewish Museum in Berlin and leaning against the pillars of the Holocaust memorial.

Oh, I'm sure the phtographer and fashion editor just thought it was an exciting location, where the starved looks of the models would have given the shoot an edgy frisson. These people live in a bubble where nothing matters but a Vogue cover.

that makes corporations even more ethically tone-deaf than usual these days.
