I hate seeing their billboard on the way to work each morning (they have a shop here in Chicago). I have little children, that can't read yet, and hope these guys go out of business before I have to explain their ads to them.

"Fashion mavens say the rebellious hip factor that helped catapult the brand to success has long since worn off."

Indeed it has - both my daughters (12 + 13) know exactly what word is intended and figure that if the store needs to resort to such tricks their clothes can't be any good.

I also don't get it. The cartoon is clear enough. It is the title "FCUK" that I don't get. I see that paltz in #7 indicated that it means "French Connection United Kingdom." But nothing in the article stated that. Not to disagree, but the article indirectly implies a different meaning to me. A quick translation of one of the advertisement would read:

"Open here to try French Connection United Kingdom her."

Maybe I'm just completely ignorant of fashion lingo. I have never heard of FCUK prior to this post. Is it a French or British company?

At any rate, I wish them every success in their targeted advertising scheme, if for no other reason than government attempts to silence them.
