Tsk tsk, Abercrombie and Fitch! You’d think you’d have learned your lesson after the public took you to task for printing racist t-shirts back in 2002. The outrage over those shirts resulted in a nationwide recall.
This time, young women are upset that the clothing chain is selling t-shirts with perceived sexist and "degrading" sayings like, "I had a nightmare I was a brunette" and "Who needs brains when you have these." They’re planning on organizing a "girlcott" of the company to bring attention to the issue.
A&F has faced past criticism from conservative and parent groups for marketing thong underwear to young girls and including nude models in their catalogs.
Seems like they are always pushing the envelope! I remember hearing recently that their profits were way down, so maybe this is their strategy to attract new people. Who knows…
