[kj] Strange "controversy" a-brewing: Prada runway show in Milan plays Death in June's music

[Brendan Quinn]

Quite an appropriate dirge to play while the sacrificial skeletons make
their awkward-hipped walk to the altar where the mindless idolaters APPLAUD
PIECES OF CLOTH...

5 seconds 'til it hits us...

plays Death in June's music

...while models strut their stuff down the catwalk in Milan at the 
"Spring/Summer '08" Prada fashion show, Death in June (accused for years 
and years of being neo-fascist/neo-Nazi) are played for the crowd and 
the models.

What the hell?

The Death in June song that's playing for the models is "The Only Good 
Neighbour."

Any thoughts? Tasteless choice by the event's DJ? Intentionally 
provocative? Overblown, and not a big deal at all? "DEATH IN JUNE ARE 
NOT NAZIS!"? What?
