In early January 2018, clothing company H&M came under fire for an advertisement showing a black child in a sweatshirt that read: Coolest Monkey in the Jungle. Shortly after the company issued an apology and discontinued the shirts, the entertainment web site Huzlers published a piece claiming that the company was attempting to make amends with an Equally Racist collection. The Equally Racist collection, as imagined by Huzlers, aims to offend people of all different racial identities, including white people: Huzlers is a well-known satire web site with a long history of pushing misinformation. They carry a disclaimer in the footer stating that Huzlers.com is the most infamous fauxtire & satire entertainment website in the world. However, people also began posting the images independent of the article itself (and thus the disclaimer). These images include a child of apparently Middle Eastern descent wearing a shirt that says I'm the bomb, and an East Asian child wearing a shirt that implies he eats dog meat. Of course, the images are doctored. Huzlers simply took images of children wearing real H&M clothing and then digitally added racist logos. Here's a look at the real H&M products (left) and the doctored Huzlers images (right):
