I hope they fire their gay marketing director so I don't have to put up with naked guys on their catalogues, web sites etc. It's getting kinda annoying. Their merchandise is fine though.

Abercrombie just needs to be fair, that's all. If they're going to mock people, mock everyone equally. Yeah, introduce a "white trash" line of "wife-beater" t-shirts, trailer loungewear and "shiat-kicker" boots, with such slogans as, "Open season on relatives". Don't forget the inner city "gangsta"-wear to capture the "ghetto" look, maybe some kind of "Crips vs. Bloods" themes or something with pre-made bullet holes and bloodstains to simulate that "post drive-by feeling". And just so they could get another shot in, introduce a line of clothing to mock Latinos (who incidentally are the fastest growing minority population in the US), maybe with some taco t-shirts or "I no speaka ingles" prints or something. Yeah, those will all fly big time with everyone. :roll:
Whatever. Oh, and to the genius who mentioned that all their salespeople speak English - wake up. If we (meaning Americans, regardless of racial affiliation) are truly to enter the global arena/marketplace, would it hurt us to broaden our horizons and speak other languages. Most Europeans speak at least 2, if not more. If we really want to get involved with the rest of the world, other than trying to save a few bucks by outsourcing, maybe we should try understanding different points of view. Being a optimistic person, I don't think that most people are racists, just racially ignorant. Which thus leads to the insensitive, mildly offensive things that get printed on t-shirts or published in magazine articles. People just don't know any better, and then are surprised by the uproar.
Then again, there are people who just get their panties in a twist over anything and everything. Some people need to be a little "less sensitive". Some of the funniest things are going to be offensive to someone somewhere, unfortunately.
Sarcasm and soapbox aside, these cargoes look like hell. Did they beat them to death before selling them, or is that just the fashion? Old Navy's got some similar stuff, similarly priced here:
Old Navy
But generally, Old Navy pants are only good for a year or so of moderate wear and tear, and then start to fray. I would think the quality on the Abercrombie's are better, but it's tough to tell without going to the store. And like I said, they look like hell. But for $20, a potentially great deal zoiks, especially since Ab's markup is considerably more than Old Navy's. Nice find.
EDITED: For content (HA!) and spelling.
Well, you didn't have to read it at all (since all you had to do was click on the links in the first couple of posts), but since you did and bothered to post, welcome in, the mud's nice and warm.Originally posted by: Havoc13
I came in to check out a good deal and this OT crap has muddied it...
Baaa....It's a shame to think that there are that many oversensitive media led sheep that comprise this country.
I don't disagree with most of this EXCEPT that if you bothered to actually READ my post, nowhere does it say we should "BE MORE EUROPEAN". It says that we should BE MORE UNDERSTANDING and perhaps even broaden our horizons a little bit. Not everyone's primary language is English, nor should we expect it to be (since technically we are a land of immigrants - at some point in time or another). Should people who live in the United States make an attempt to learn the English language? Hell, yes. Should we expect everyone to be good at it? No. Should we expect other people in other countries to speak it? No. Perhaps we, as Americans, need to check our attitude/viewpoint/language requirements and realize that not everyone sees everything the same way we do (possibly why we are disliked by so many around the world?). It never hurts to make an attempt and learning the rudimentary constructs of another tongue might just be a small step to that end. Anyway, at the rate outsourcing of jobs is occurring, there may not be any purely "American" companies left soon.For all that call another a racist, check the mirror and shut up, no one is perfect all the time.
For those that do like naked men, that's your right, just as it is mine to say I don't. Don't insult others because they made a choice. It has nothing to do with their implied latent homosexuality, go post in OT if you want to let others know of your personal desires.
For the poster saying we should be more European, thanks for your opinion, now it's time for you to wake up. Most Europeans don't speak 2 or more languages. I can utilize 4 languages, but when I call an American company I want to speak English to them. If I want to speak Italian, I'll call Italy, ok.
What a wonderful world it would be! Take your own advice, relax and ... well, you know the rest.If everyone avoided being a jackass one time a day, imagine what a better place this world would be to exist upon.
Relax, and don?t be a jackass?
