abercrombie is terrible

 

Abercrombie and Fitch should be in the dictionary under the word, controversy. Actually it should be synonymous with the words, tasteless and derogatory. The clothing retailer doesn’t seem to know where the edge is when they push the envelope.

Not too far back, the offensive “Two Wongs Can Make It White” t-shirt caused a stir among Asian-Americans resulting in a boycott (truthfully I don’t know any Asian that shop there). In 2002, the company was criticized for distributing sexually provocative catalogues. Now the company has decided to print divisive and lewd t-shirts for teenagers.

T-shirts for girls with lines such as these:

“Who Needs Brains When You Have These”
“Freshmen 15″ (w/ list of 15 guy names)
“Do I Make You Look Fat”
“Blondes Are Adored, Brunettes Are Ignored”

T-shirts for guys with lines such as these:

“Spitters Are Quitters”
“I NEED a girl with a GOOD HEAD on her shoulders”

*i’m not explaining these sexual innuendosFrankly, I not surprised by any of this. This company has no values. They promote a promiscuous lifestyle and glorify it to impressionable young teenagers because parents can’t seem to parent these days.

A group of young girls called on a “girlcott” against Abercrombie.  Then the company quickly decided to pull some of their t-shirts.  I say a perma-ban should be in place.
