Were they the ones mocking Asians by any chance?

Edit: Oh, I see that was addressed in the article. I really didn't want to read it, now I feel awfully nauseous.

Boy have we lied so much about the age that even you are starting to believe it?

I'm shocked! I've never lied about my age!

Saw a show on PBS about them (what is that series? Front Line? Something like that?) I like how they bully companies into having to go to China so they can get their costs down, causing said companies to shut down American factories, so people lose their jobs.

What struck me is the insidious cycle of driving down costs to the point people lose their jobs, have no money, so shopping at Wal-Mart looks good because everything is so cheap.

As far as A&F, meh...I'm too old (and cheap) to shop in mall stores like that. I have a very nice selection of consignment shops I frequent. Big corporations can kiss my ass.

This guy is just totally creepy. Is this what Ryan Seacrest is going to look like when he is in his sixties? I'm really disturbed right now. Does this guy actually think he is sexy? His face looks like something not-of-this-Earth.

I always wondered what a male Jocelyn Wildenstein would look like.

I still can't get over the man's face. It freaks my ass out big time. As for the rest, he's a walking cartoon character. Very disturbing. I also found the assertion that boys feel wearing A&F made them look "masculine" to be a bit wonky. I see gay men wearing it mostly, and it sure as **** doesn't scream "BUTCH!"

This is the part that got me:

"But you know what? I still think those are cute underwear for little girls."

...in reference to the thongs that say "eye candy" targeted at middle school girls.

I thought that boys wore these clothes, I didn't think men wore them at all. I don't like this company and will never shop there.

SF is filled with middle-aged gay guys trying to look young wearing A&F, especially covering their bald heads with AF caps.
