Sexual assaults in America are on the rise for a bevy of reasons. One of them has to be the advertising of sex in all sorts of consumer products. No one is more notorious right now then the marketers of American Apparel.
After the Random Axe show several members of the Combat Jack Show walked past an American Apparel store and felt compelled to talk about the displays and their overarching themes. Yeah, I think we were drunk too.
*DEAD* yea y’all were definitely drunk (w/ surprisingly cogent arguments an observations)….hilarious nonetheless LMAO!
didn’t they have a porn star as a model before. i can’t remember her name but yeah she was a model for them. THIS VIDEO IS KILLING ME “IF SOMEONE IS WEARING THIS OUT IN THE STREET. YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TRYING TO SAY RIGHT? FUCK ME FUCK ME IN THE PUSSY!!!!”. mwhahhahahaha 8x that brand gets up to 2xl if your lucky hahahahah
That’s real talk. The dude that started the company is an oppressive man – Dov Charney – who sounds like he just doesn’t know how to let people set boundaries.
shorty in the ad got the drunkeye and that half-scared look on her face… big smh @ this brand’s whole image.
shame, because their tees and basics are so on point.
The thing is though, rape contributes to rape culture…not clothing…Dov Charney is a punk ass motherfucker who needs to have an abundance of sick dicks placed properly on his forehead.
Hilarious video nonetheless.
Drunk but still real! American Apparel ads promote women as sexual objects.
American Apparel clothes are too tight..colors too bright…Fluck them and those gold tin foil shorts…lol.
I have no use for American Apparel in any way but PLEASE– open up the fucking New York Times magazine (which I despise) or Vanity Fair or any women’s mag at the grocery store.
To single out Am. Apparel for anything but shitty clothes and biz ethics is absurd.
And before I knew Saigon the rapper is ass I heard him on a producer’s album by Stoupe and there he is bragging about blasting groupies (for fucking Saigon?) with his ‘gangster nut’ and splitting.
Images + general social dialogue etc might be changing things (not exactly in a ‘sexist’ way because women have more– if not equal– rights than ever in USA and some other places) but to accuse some clothes co’s ad’s of anything is silly.
Especially given the preponderance of “thick” “shortys” etc who are a staple item of ‘hip-hop’ ‘journalism.’
That’s fine if pays the bills and I don’t believe those models are “exploited” anything but how about telling dumb kids about Ethel Waters, Leontyne Price, Billie Holiday, Eartha Kitt, Carmen McCrae and some of the other great black women artists?
Granted Eartha Kitt was hot as fuck if you like ’em lean and mean but…
