    thank christ i have not been in a mall for over a decade.


    More or less how I feel. However I don't see an issue here, it's a free market decision by a company. Don't like it? Lose the weight then.

    Me too. I am not a doucher though, never wore a polo with a popped collar, never wore AF. I do respect their right not to clothe fat asses though.

    Are you saying that fat (big boned) people can't flip their collars up because their necks are too big? Maybe AF stands for "Against Fat"?

    I never met the guy but he sure sounds like a real piece of shit to me. maybe one day his house will burn down or worse

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

    Not sure where I said I could judge who is attractive or not....

    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.
