6. Hanukkah sweater causes Internet outrage.

Nordstrom is under fire for a sweater some say are offensive to Jews. The blue sweater boasts a menorah and the words "Chai maintenance." It's a play on the Hebrew word "Chai," which means life, but it also propagates negative stereotypes of Jewish women. The sweater also reads "Hannukah J.A.P.," referring to the abbreviation for Jewish American Princess, another term that's not so flattering for the Jewish people. The sweater has since been removed from the site.
