Title: Suicide at Abercrombie & Fitch

QuoteCandidly, 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.  -- Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch explaining why A&F doesn't offer women's XL sizes

This is too cute. So evidently the douche gives an interview in 2006 to Salon. No one notices or whatever. Then a couple of days ago, the comments resurface and shit-storm ensues.

EVEN CUTER. A&F does stock XL and XXL in men's wear, just not for women. You know...because no fat chicks and stuff. I give his job 2 weeks at best.

OH AND THE IRONY--The man who only markets to the good looking so as to attract the other good looking:

There may have been some work done. A touch.

Gary Busey has been bobbing for apples in a bucket of bees, I see.

It's almost as though he internalized his own manipulative, cynical, superficiality and some (several) manipulative, cynical, superficial plastic surgeons took advantage of that fact to create this wonderful image you see before you.

I can't help thinking this man is the American Ideal.
