Yeah right... as if the majority of teenage girls don't already willingly dress in attire that basicly says that exact thing, only not in words.
Paaaahhleeease.
I don't really consider the fact that Abercrombie is pulling these T-Shirts from their shelves to be an act of them getting in trouble.... I just see it as a wise business decision by their executives because girls in the target sales group are trying to boycott their products.

My biggest problem with the story is the "girl-cott" stupidity. That is the most absurd nonsense I've ever heard. That's not even addressing the absurdity of the issue itself. Do people really have so much time on their hands that they can devote their lives to such a non-issue? I wish I had that kind of free time.
well I think they're stupid for selling shit like that. I don't buy any of their stuff no more...
I think the people who do are even dumber. I mean to wear a shirt that says "who cares about brains when you got these?" I'd laugh my ass off and probably say "So you must be dumb?" to her face....
The asian thing was overboard.
The kiddie thongs were plain nasty.
The "who cares about brains when you got these?" is just funny.
AF does all this shit to get publicity. Rather than spend millions on advertisement. They're gettin it free from the media.
Are you even asian? Just wondering because you said the asian thing was overboard and if you're asian and though it was overboard then alright I respect your opinion. If you are not asian and saying this then SHUT THE FUCK UP. How would you know if it was overboard and if it was or was not offensive to asians if you're not asian. Well, personally I didn't think it was as racist as Shaq saying 'ching-chong-chang' to Yao but it was still like WTF?! I saw the T-shirts, '2 Wongs don't make a White'. WTF is that supposed to mean? If I saw a white guy wearing that shit I'd hit him over the head with a bottle. What 2 asians don't even equate to one white guy? Fucking piece of shit A&F.

I have met James, Iron...and he doesn't need to shut the fuck up if that answers your question. I am white however; and I have to say that I had no idea about that T-Shirt and James is correct they probably did it on purpose. Not that they would ever sell me clothing anyway because I have a certain clothing taste, another story...but now I can say there is no way in Hell I would ever buy from them. They are in the market to sell t-shirts to middle class white kids...and they are selling racism.

Yes I am.

If I wasn't asian, my reply would be "your mama".
Why would you have to be a certain race to defend it? I aint Jewish, so does that mean I'm not allowed to hate on Hitler?

I thought that was more fucked up than the af t-shirts.

It's saying "2 wrongs don't make a right"

OK maybe 'Shut the fuck up' was a little too harsh. My bads. I'm just saying I can see the subliminal message in some of the T-shirts. I guess I'm a little sensitive to this kind of shit after being in fookin MS and idiots yelling racist remarks. I never really hung out with white people before the Air Force and even in the Air Force people say stupid shit that piss me off. It might not seem racist to them but it's pretty offense to me. For example, this one Air Force guy I hardly know comes up to me at a bar and says what's up. I didn't see him and said, 'Hey what's up, I didn't even see you,' then he's like 'Oh because of your eyes?' and makes a chinky eye gesture. A fuckin Air Force Officer is saying this. You don't know how pissed I was. And this is just the tip of the ice burg. Anyways, fook the Air Force too I can't wait until I get out of this shit.
Abercrombie & Bitch in trouble again
