Abercrombie and Dumbass

Here is the email that I fired off to Abercrombie and Fitch about there use of full nudity in there most recent catalog. While I am for nudity as much as the next guy I don't think it should be used to sell clothing by a company that caters mostly to 12-18 year olds! Since I have become a parent this type of thing has really been getting to me.

EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO THE ABERCROMBIE WEB SITE AND EMAIL THEM YOUR THOUGHTS! TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AS WELL! Their site is: http://www2.abercrombie.com/

Since a national boycott was launched about a month and a half ago their stock is down more than 15%! That is hitting them where it hurts! Below is the letter....

To whom it may concern,
I would like to express my outrage with the current clothing catalog for your company. It is no wonder that it was pulled and is no longer being distributed. Using nudity to sell to kids is deplorable!

I will not be shopping at A&F until the company cleans up it's image. As a member of the United States Armed Services I will be letting everyone that I know including the base news paper about your ridiculous gimmicks to try and make money and ask them not to shop with your company.

Even the very front page of the A&F web site has a man and woman making out and there is not one stitch of clothing visible! A&F does sell clothing, correct?

Sad....
