File this under "WTF Were They Thinking" :
Kinky Boots, the new musical from Cindi Lauper and Harvey Fierstein based on the 2005 indie film, recently moved into it's home on the great white way at the Al Hirschfeld theater on West 45th Street. Producers were quick to decorate the theater's facade with the show's marketing, but perhaps they were a little too quick.
The show's branding is really cute-- the letter "K" formed by two knee-high booted legs. However, no one seemed to realize that the iconic logo created a different message all together. When they wrapped these large columns, didn't anyone catch the giant "K-K-K" ?????

Broadwayworld featured the show in their "Up On the Marquee" column, but were kind enough to leave this questionable shot out.
UPDATE: Apparently, the producers came to their senses. The day after I originally posted this, a change was made to the center column, eliminating the cultural faux pas.
