Hell, A&F practically created that culture. It's just another way for A&F to get people talking about their brand. Their product is sh** but A&F has always been on top of the marketing thing. |

Ed Hardy tiger pajama pants, however?? Hellllz yeah son 
Is AF still considered "cool" by kids anymore? I mean it was "in" when I was in HS in the late 90s but yeah. |

It's brilliant on AF's part- just not for why you think it is. |

That is all. |

It's brilliant on AF's part- just not for why you think it is. | I think it's about as safe a public position as you can take . . . aside from taking out a full-paged ad in the NY Times stating that your company is definitely 100% against infanticide.
Plus the free publicity.

My girlfriend watches the show (one of the few things we disagree on is reality TV) and she's moving in with me in a couple weeks. I've already made it plain that about the best she can hope for is that I'll sit in the same room and noodle on the bass or read while she's watching it.
