I don't have anything against the campaign per se, but this:

Is important, and it's a very good point. In a lot of European countries, for example, this type of thing isn't a big deal because of the sexual freedom there. In a sexually repressed society like most of North America, though, this can get people into trouble. The kids grow up becoming more and more curious about it but still think deep down that it's "wrong" and are ashamed of it.

So we get into this twisted situation - little girls wearing skanky clothes who are totally not emotionally ready for sex because of the society they live in.

How to reconcile this? I'm not sure...

You have to be 18 to buy those catalogs, so it would be hard for a "kid" to get one.

You do realize that worldnetdaily is an extreme right-wing media source correct? For example, this hatemonger is one of its editorial writers:

quote:
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

--Jerry Falwell talking about the Sept. 11th terror attacks


That's not to say you shouldn't read worldnetdaily, and in fact I would argue that to be balanced you need to analyze issues from different viewpoints...
But, you must be able to recognize bias when you see it. Yes I do read some of their articles too.

Their catalog was one of the major news headlines last year for the same exact reason. You think they'd wise up and change it. But of course they wanna look like a "rebel" company going against the media and push limits.

I'm not saying that their concept is bad it's just stupid that it gains so much attention. Their clothes suck anyway.

abercrombie has 2 divisions.

Abercrombie and then abercrombie kids.
They are 2 different stores.

The (nude people) catalog sits in the adult store at the registers where its wraped in plastic with a warning on the label that reads something to the effect of 18 and above only.

They also have another adult catalog without nudity, along with a website to display their clothing.

As for children they have their own childrens catalog and a website for the abercrombie kids sites.

Come on.. what else can you ask for.

Everyone is getting a bit uptight if you ask me.

Now HERE'S quality advertising ("Club 18-30" UK by Saatchi and Saatchi). Imagine how the right-wing wankers in the US would react to this. Look carefully, how many sexual acts can you spot?

Your ignorant generalizations are appreciated.
