ABERCROMBIE CATALOG

I really dislike Abercrombie & Fitch. The clothes are waaaay fucking over priced (especially for clothes that look like they're from a yardsale), the people who shop there annoy the shit out of me and on numerous occassions have sold tshirts with offensive (to me) imagery on them - like a slant eyed buck-tooth "oriental" a few years back. With that said, they are now upsetting some others with their new catalog. Apparently, instead of having pictures of models sporting the A&F clothes while doing cool college stuff, like camping and playing co-ed football, the clothes are separate in the back, while the front has models posing nude; including a young nude woman showering and 2 nude women in a jacuzzi. Have we really come to this as a culture? I figure we would, but now that it's here... wow. I remember Eddie Murphy's 80s standup where he said in the future a Coke ad would be a nake woman, spread eagle with "Drink Coke" under her. That's it. Looks like the future is now. Whatever, A&F. I'm still not shopping at your overrated pompous store. Jim Smash stoopid store! ARGH!!!
But more importantly, someone send me a catalog.

That's how they get people like Jim, who wouldn't spend a dime in their obnoxious store that blasts dance pop mix all day long, to actually spend money there - naked girls in the catalog. Just goes to show you - sex sells.

*yawn*

They do this every year when this catalog comes out. Something of shock value/along the lines of nudity to get the attention put on them.

Come on, time to come up with something new.

well, I'm still not going to shop there. I really really really can't stand them. They are the "Paris Hilton and Tara Reid" of clothing stores.

Naked people make America spend $$! Corporate America is all about $$,consumers love to buy stuff, ergo, America is all about PORN.

It's the answer to everything. The sooner you face it the sooner you can embrace it.

Is this why the rest of the world hates us so?
