Plenty has been written online about ‘socially conscious’ clothing company American Apparel, their risque advertising, and their sexual harrassment-happy CEO of late (link, link, link, link). I’ve been ‘not a fan’ of their ads on sites I read, but nothing had ever been overt enough to make me actively ‘Anti.’

     Maybe I’m turning into a grandpa, but this American Apparel ‘holiday’ ad (link) officially makes me ‘Anti.’ Really? THAT’S your holiday message? A faceless female ass with “STUFF THIS” in block type beneath it? Stuff this ass? Good job guys.

     Also, thanks to Pitchfork for accepting advertising that brings that classy ‘soft porn’ aesthetic to their site.

     I haven’t sunk to the level of posting an IM conversation for quite awhile, so I figure I’m about due.

autumn and wasp, pillar of autumn, forever in a day, between broken
ends, the evening raid”

Adam: “Those are all real band names”

Adam: And insist on always being billed last

Adam: and just never show up

Zach: hahahah
