    Wasn't he in Mask?

    He looks like Ron White gone way wrong...with a sprinkling of Gary Busey thrown in for good measure.

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense

    The shallow and mindless is a large market - they're just feeding the demand. His comments are likely nothing more than fuel on the fire - that this is an exclusive brand for the wealthy and attractive - which only makes them want it more.

    Because you said you agree that they are selling to the attractive, and they are basically saying fat people cannot be attractive

    Dude is not marketing to himself, I guess. I guess he was not one of the cool kids in high school, and wants to make up for it now.

    I don't really give a shit, but it just seems like a bad business plan. "cool, good looking" people by their lame-ass definition (I mean, seriously... A&F isn't fucking cool - the people from The Jersey Shore wear it; most people these days think it's a lame brand) are a small minority of people. The majority of Americans are overweight. They are really limiting their profits, and that just makes them stupid.

  • I'm not small. And I don't buy anything just for the name or the label. to me there's no difference between that and liking the next big pop song just because you're told it's the next big pop song.

    but there is something REALLY FUCKING WRONG with the statement that fat people are the fastest growing group in America (and probably Canada too). that's sad. Literally and figuratively, I guess. All this guy is doing is saying publicly what every other CEO says to its shareholders behind the board room doors: our customers are fucking idiots, and it's the idiots that seem to have the most money and want to buy our stuff.

    and he's god awful hideous. gary busey had he not gone crazy.
