[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;40596432]The clothes, or the poor people?[/QUOTE]
both.
I don't get it, has anybody ever associated this brand with coolness or being something special? Its just a regular mall-brand of clothing.
"What is a PR?"

Garry added that months ago then deactivated it for some reason.
[QUOTE=Bliblixe;40597298]Garry added that months ago then deactivated it for some reason.[/QUOTE]Yeah, those these are a little more advanced since they also show the city and region a user is in.
Though its not entirely accurate since I'm not in Alexander City.

The flag colors are right, but that's it.
Their shit is way too fucking expensive
facepunch once again fails to understand a key component of capitalism and gets angry over stupid shit nobody cares about.
if somebody wants to buy something, then it can be sold. people want to buy what this company sells, there for, it will remain in business. your armchair slacktivism complaining about "OMG HE WONT GIVE HIS SHIT TO POOR PEOPLE WHAT A HORRIBLE PERSON" is bullshit considering it's his inventory and he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

Probably due to ipv4 adresses being all over the place at the moment, as opposed to most issuers keeping certain adress spaces limited to certain regions before

Oh here we go. We've got both a facepunch hivemind liberal attack, and a protection of capitalism ridiculousness as "par for the fucking course"
And they always get those hunks to promote their clothes
I should buy a bunch of their stuff and wear it in public just to ugly up their brand
Their clothes are almost exclusively worn by annoying, posh wankers anyway.
Wouldn't be caught dead in their shit in the first place, just gives me all the more reason to not buy their stuff.

:pwn:
Someone should get really rich, buy a ton of abercrombie and fitch stuff, and then just go to homeless shelters across the country and give it all to the poor people
Not only that, your generosity will be noticed by the media and they'll publish a news story of you, adding pictures of the homeless people in abercrombie and fitch stuff to the article.
This isn't only common with A&F, from what I've picked up from my mom(once a K-Mart Manager), most K-Marts will actually slice the soles off shoes so that people can't go around back and get free shoes from the dumpsters(as was the case with food and all that). Several retailers follow this practice because they don't want people to simply take these items from dumpsters and use them without "paying for them". It's incredibly wasteful, and the fact people who really need these items can't even get the throw-away items is really disgusting. As much as I know it's a pipedream, the practice should be outlawed, and anything which can't be sold before the period of restocking should be donated to shelters and food kitchens.
Abercrombie should burn all the clothes they can't sell, lest anyone accidentally mark themselves as a douchebag without deserving it.

[QUOTE=Aros24;40595954]To think I almost worked for them...[/QUOTE]
I actually did.
Fucking worst job ever.
Didn't work for 1 month after getting hired, and only got 1-2 shifts/about 4-5 hours a week, if any at all. This was mainly because they had [b]50[/b] fucking employees...in a mall store. Of course there wasn't enough hours to go around!
Left there after like 2 months.

read the article, then shitpost pls.
[QUOTE=barttool;40602632]read the article, then shitpost pls.[/QUOTE]
the article reads like it's written by someone who needs to get off their fucking high horse, there's no actual information in it and it's actually pretty infuriating
where does it even say that they'd burn the clothes? in the unsourced interview?
[QUOTE=Medicmanv4;40602664]I have never worn their shitty clothes and never will.[/QUOTE]
maybe you should actually wear them before calling them shitty because they're actually comfy as fuck (as ugly as they are)
I have never worn their shitty clothes and never will.
