Abercrombie and Fitch: Exclusion is cool

[sheshe2]

This really pisses me off.
Anyone who’s been to Abercrombie & Fitch in the last few years has probably noticed that they don’t carry XL or XXL sizes of women’s clothing because they don’t want overweight women wearing their brand.

According to this popular teen clothing retailer, fat chicks will just never be a part of the “in” crowd.
A&F CEO Mike Jeffries explained it this way:

“In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids,” he told the site. “Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.

In case you're wondering, this policy only applies to women. The article points out that A&F carries XL and XXL for men "to appeal to large athletes."This really pisses me off.

[Tien1985]

2. Yes.

He seems to be a bit obsessed with looking "young and cool".

3. And his youth is slipping away on him

He'd better try to remain young and thin or the "cool kids" just might reject his bullying ass.

7. I actually feel kinda bad for him.

Think about it. He's a full grown man who still worries what a bunch of "cool" high schoolers think. It's just sad really.
