American figure skater Johnny Weir stoked some controversy in Turin, Italy by wearing a jacket with the letters "CCCP" emblazened across it in one of his practice sessions. "CCCP" in Russian means the "Soviet Union." No, it's not a political statement. It's a fashion statement.
Here in the trend-setting capital of the world, Los Angeles, I have seen kids wearing "CCCP-" decorated shirts and jackets who have no clue what the letters stand for. They only know and care that it's "cool" to wear. Relax, fogies. It's just fashion. It's quite Californian and therefore very hip.
