A) I thought this was a terrible misjudgement from the 70s until I noticed the “proud sponsor of the 2008 Olympics thing.
B) Jesus.
C) Who knew that American Apparel makes creamsicles?
The answer is “C”
********UPDATE******************************************
The answers is actually “D” it’s totally fake. Still, I’m not feeling it.
Kathy Hilton is Paris’s mom and, at least according to her reality show, a fucking retard. Still, her response to the stupid McCain Paris Hilton/Britney Spears ad on The HuffPost that was more cogent than anything Chris Mathews has said in probably 5 years. Keep in mind she and her husband already donated the maximum $4,600.00 to the McCain campaign.
So this lady, Stephanie Lenz, put up this video on YouTube of her toddler partying to “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince so obviously Universal Music felt the need to threaten to sue her. Because record companies hate babies. And joy, they also hate joy. So she’s suing them for being bullies. Awesome.
See that toddler in the video? Better hope he marries your daughter, cause he’s already way cooler than anyone I know.
So I tried to be kind of above the fray on Jesse Helms dying, gently pointing out that even though I’m sad when anyone dies, his position on funding AIDS and AIDS prevention was basically “if you have it, you deserve it” and we shouldn’t forget that. Then Elizabeth Dole introduced an amendment (which didn’t pass) to name an HIV/AIDS relief bill after him. By that logic, when I die, I expect there to be a “Sam Saltz award for not thinking Elizabeth Dole is a piece of shit.” It would be equally ironic.
For some reason, in addition to making me hate her, this whole thing also makes me hate him more. So fuck it, I’m glad Jesse Helms is dead. Unrepentant racist, homophobic, fuck.
I’ve never hated on American Apparel because sometimes a man needs a lavender sweatshirt to go with his AF1s (I call that my sweetshirt). So even when everyone was like, “Dov Charney’s the sex pig anti-Christ”, I’ve always been all, “settle down.” Plus, who can be mad at girls wearing short shorts and tube socks? Not me (Hi mom!).
Anyway, I was on their website the other day cause I’m in the market for a hooded sweetshirt, and I discovered a couple of new features:
Five sexual harassment lawsuits later, founder Dov Charney isn’t anywhere on the site
Also, certain products, say, for instance, the micro-poly short short, feature an option which allows you to see camel toe the product from different angles.
Others, say, for instance, the interlock running short, now actually feature a short film showcasing the product. As a former film major I feel qualified to tell you that there’s only one reason anyone makes a short film about short shorts and it’s gross gross. For real real.
