For that hideous American Apparel ad to the right. I didn’t know what I had in store when I approved it. Apparently, orgies involving hipster girls and pederast-seeming gym teachers who just emerged from a disco-era warp, is really in this fall.
Thusly, today’s word for the day is “Oy.” For those who don’t know “oy” is “yo” backwards. Who says the Jews don’t know how to keep it “hip-hop.”

Something creepy and hairy this way comes.
Thanks for nothing, AA.

This is way creepier because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that guy wandering around Brooklyn… or a guy that looks just like that… like thousands of them. I fucking hate American Apparel.

I really wish American Apparel would use actually ATTRACTIVE models instead of these heroined out jailbait hipster girls they are peddling. It’s fucking creepy. It looks like some slutty girl with no self-esteems MySpace photos and I don’t like it all.

Careful there DocZeus. Those “heroined out jailbait hipster girls they are peddling” may be actual store employees. Or at least that’s how they do it out here in la la land. Models would be nice, but times are hard man. Plus, too many American Apparel employees “embody” that look they are going for. Why not tap the well so to speak til it runs dry, right?

I may not have been completely comfortable with it, but I did click through…. It was oddly compelling.

I had the same reaction when I saw it on my site. At first I thought the guy was Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello.
