The Egyptian protests could be one of the most serious world events of the last ten years, so it's only natural for Kenneth Cole to liken them to fashion madness.

Kenneth Cole went to twitter about an hour later to clarify his joke:

Oh, you weren't making light of the situation, you were just using its newsworthiness for your own personal gain? Totally. Thanks for clearing that up.

UPDATE:: Well that was fast!
