I wonder where that puts me? Perhaps I am a spirit in the material world?

I'm think we will all be shattered by the dearth of "half naked, sexy men with their pants falling off" advertisements. I'll know, when I open a copy of GQ or Men's Health and I don't see a sexy, half naked man with his pants falling off that something is seriously wrong.... <SERIOUSLY WRONG, PEOPLE>

On a lighter note, this will give other companies the ability to break into the half naked, sexy man clothing lines. I can't wait for more raw sexy man photos. And I'm a dude. And straight.

*cough*

This is a business model that has to fail. I would rather see that company go back to its roots and sell sporting goods. This whole "rich trash kid look" is a joke. I wish they would replace their stores with auto parts, chemical supply or something other than sweatshop made clothes and shoes.

I feel the same about their products. The whole rich trash kid look is a joke. Still it would not have been so successful if these kids weren't so brain washed and fashion culture oriented. We need kids to be more in tune with real live but they follow the paths of fools. What happened to the 90's?
