Shirtless in Ambercrombie? Don't even think about it....
Apparently, you have to be wearing a shirt to buy a shirt in a store that has an entire marketing campaign based around shirtless dudes and half naked women....Check the video...
"Our friends a Improv Everywhere recently completed their latest mission "No Shirts" where they organized 111 shirtless men of all shapes and sizes to go shopping at the Abercrombie and Fitch store on 5th Avenue in New York. As it turns out, in a store that celebrates the shirtless male, shirtless men are not allowed to buy shirts." -Courtesy of the Laughing Squid and Improv Everywhere. Click HERE for the entire story Maybe if the men were better looking they would have been allowed to buy a shirt....LOL...I think the guys above look pretty good if you ask me....even the chunky one! ;) Hipocrisy in commerce....what a concept. 25 comments from 13 users

Man, I have a hard time even walking into that store. I don't know, but I feel "ugly" ... see when I go the mall I'm not dressed up like some people. I'm usually wearing jeans, flip flops, whatever shirt on the floor that was clean and not too wrinkled, and my hair is in a ponytail. I keep my head down and walk as quickly as I can past those hunky shirtless dudes gaurding the entrance. I don't even know why I bother, rarely do I find anything I actually like - I prefer Hollister - but I receive emailings and sometimes see a cute top ... but then I have to search the store to find it and it usually looks like crap on me. Yeah, baby doll style tube tops look cute on the hanger, but pregnant with no boobs on me.

I have never been in one of thier stores...Too Old and Too Outta style ( me,not Abercrombie).LOL... have bought stuff from them online for the boy... can't remember why ,but he boycotted them a few years back , which was fine w/me cause they were a little spendy for my budget. I agree. that group looks pretty good to me...I would sell any of them a shirt..especially @ 45 bucks a pop!!! Wonder what would have happened if they had sent 111 shirtless women in there???

I buy my pants there. Well, some. When I feel like show ass crack. Which aparently is always. I used to say I couldn't wait till the high waisted pants came back in style but now that I hear that they are... well... I'm not sure that I want them back. They were uncomfortable as frock. I think that project was fun and well intentioned. tee hee. And I actually sorta see the point behind it. Other than media attention of course. (which was 99.9% probably the main reason behind it) posted by

That place is wayyy to loud, and nothing will fit my gut anyway. A XXL at A&F is really about a medium in 'Garanimals'.

HA...No kidding. The store is sized for girls who have the bodies of 8th grade boys and boys who haven't come into full puberty....I think the store is annoying and definitely not my style. Plus I hate totally skinny people who can eat anything they want and still fit into Abercrombrie crap.....Only a dog wants a bone....if you ask me.... (and p.s. Kindra - WTF....how could YOU feel ugly ANYwhere??? We saw a lil' sliver of you on another post.....you humble hottie, you!!) p.s.s.....Twinkie, crack kills. lol BUT so do the Mom-jeans....lol. Click the link...lol... posted by

Thats one of the most amazing flash mobs I've seen. It makes me want to get back into the hobby. I kind of like the jeans they sell. I'm just not a fan of the prices they have. I guess I'm oldschool for not wanting to pay double to tripple the price for already ripped jeans when I ripp them on my own pretty well.
As for mom jeans dear god, that is the most unholy thing I have ever sceen. Well with this exception posted by

Abercrombie not Ambercrombie.... But this isnt why im posting the comment... I work there and I'm just as ordinary as everyone else, and if you knew the insides to it you'd know The A&F was originally a hunting/fishing store for rednecks. Ezra Fitch took over and turned it into what it is now. The shirtless thing for the models earns them up to 50 $ more an hour and a free pair of $90 designer jeans to just stand there and get a headache greeting you with the loud music that replays itself every hour!. its not an ego thing its just for the cash and for us to do nothing for 5.5 hrs. The guys there aren't all buff either, some have guts. and so do the girls too! I wouldn't call all the girls there skiny models. we aren't most are athletes for colleges. Abercrombie also doesnt schedule people more than about 10 hrs a week. www.wikipedia.com type abercrombie and fitch for the info. We just are doing a job and getting a discount we honestly aren't trying to make any sort of fashion statement here in Bakersfield when we work there. We are supposed to look as natural as possible no make up, no this no that, no jewelry... Don't narc on A&F workers we are just folding laundry all day and helping u find a size which goes up to 12 for women. and the average size for american women is an 8... posted by

Wow, Jenny. They trained you well. You can spell AND you know the average size of the American Women. Kudos to you. Are you implying that my size range is anywhere between an 8 or a 12? HA! How fucking rude of an Abercrombie minion who collects minimum wage for 10 hours a week only to get a discount to purchase, ironically & in my inexperienced opinion, the lamest fucking overpriced clothes that never got past the year 2004. But , hey, you do get to listen to shitty music all day over it's stereo system, college athlete or not. And I don't think the word "skinny model" ever came off my keyboard - I think the term I used was "body of an 8th grade boy".....hmmmm...speaking of......... This wasn't about Abercrombie -it was a statement of "SHIRTLESS" hypocrisy. Glad the keyword search "Abercrombie" pulled something up for ya.....Abercrombie or Ambercrombie- who really cares? Spell it any way you like. The definition still remains the same. Welcome to Bakotopia. |
