Abercrombie & Fitch XXX !!!

[Laurel]

Does anyone else here get the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog? Mine came today...in a colored plastic wrapper - the kind they wrap Hustler & Penthouse in at 7-11's - marked with the words "A&F XXX ADVENTURE: GET WET SET & GO ON SPRING BREAK". Stuck to the wrapper was a sticker that read "EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to mature content, parental consent suggested for readers under eighteen."

I thought, That's an interesting way to market a catalog - wrap it up like it's hot porn. Sure got my attention, anyway. But upon opening the catalog, I discovered that there's actually a reason they wrapped it in plastic. I don't know how they expect to sell clothes with this catalog, because no one it is wearing anything. It's pages and pages of gorgeous naked guys (and some girls too, I think - don't remember seeing any, but I'm sure they're there, lol). It's the best thing the mailman's brought me all week. I don't know when A&F decided to get into the softcore porn market, but I'm sure glad they did.

Well damn. Guess I'm off to A&F...needed a new shirt anyway...

This nonsense is why a lot of parents boycott A&F. To market this way towards preteens (the real target market) is unconscionable. These snakes get none of my dollars.

Odd, I've never wanted to wear A&F before.. yet I have this sudden urge to apply for a catalog.

Since my idea of roughing it is slow room service, I just can't see me buying anything from A&F.

Also, the last time I went camping I was damned near eaten alive by bugs. I can't think of anything that would get me naked outdoors. Note that I didn't say anyone, but even he would have to be a lot more persuasive than the catalog.

A & F clothes are for people who want to project the image of the outdoors. Those clothes would last maybe a day on one of our campouts. I used to buy our camp clothes from the local military surplus store. My son never understood the A & F stuff, too expensive & not very useful. When we camped, we roughed it & had a blast.

Why is it that I cannot fucking imagine LL Bean doing this????

 

[ManOSafety]

Does that mean I shouldn't send Bean my pics of me in my Maine Hunting Boots and a smile???

Wait a second, do you mean literally naked? No tiny little swim suit? Or socks? Or some article of clothing that they are trying to sell?

I don't know that Bean would be interested in seeing it, but I would!

Clothing, & More

Upon further review of the A&F catalog, I'm vowing to never again buy clothing from any catalog that doesn't have a feature on Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy.

LL Bean? Abercrombie and Fitch? When I go camping, I bring my jeans with the hole in the butt and a couple of three dollar shirts from the Purple Heart Veteran thrift store.
