"I'll take bad parenting for 200, Alex."

Agreed. Yet, the petition and the boycott are not aimed at the parents.

Here is a link to a pic of a nude girl in the summer quarterly. It is from ET and has the chest area covered with a black line.

As I recall, this is not the first time A&F have been accused of exploiting young models for their catalog. I believe they rescinded a previous catalog based on public complaints of its content.

Photographing minors in sexually explicit attire and positions is kiddie porn. To accept this as a viable marketing tool is sick.

For those who obviously don't comprehend what they read, you have stated several times on this thread that your complaint is with the CATALOG, not with the content of the website link.

Check this out....a lietenant governor has made a site about her boycott of A+F. This is the only site I have seen attacking A+F that puts photos on teh site and I am linking to the photos page:

Nor do I know why anyone would make one for that age either.

Company has a perv in it's upper Management?

[Jhoffa_]

Agreed, that's bad.

Perv is an understatement. Did you see post 38? I guess it isn't any worse than that ad in Harpaar's Bazaar a few years ago that depicted a young blond girl barely dressed with a large dog wearing a sadomasochistic hood with his paw on her breast. I can't remember the name of the company whose ad it was, but I remember they were selling shoes. I haven't bought that magazing since.

I saw on Fox News sometime back them showing pictures from the A & F Catalog. They had to black portions out, it was full frontal nudity (male and female), and pictures of them in sexual positions.

..a graphic article on sexual relations between young people and the elderly..

Correction, make that an older perv in upper management.

And tips on breaking into the "porn industry" LOL!! They make it sound like it's investment banking or something.

The "porn industry" ROFL!!

[JZoback]

Pretty amazing pictures

People trying to sell clothing by posing naked people with no clothes

What a novel concept!!!

[Phantom Lord]

I would say that there is a large porn industry. No question about it.

If not an industry, what?

[Sungirl]

This is the catalog that is using children to pose half nude....male and female together....11 & 12 yr. olds...this is old news.

[Jhoffa_]

It's a bunch of people prostituting themselves for a few bucks.

This is not on par with aerospace ya know. And if you want to "break in" to the (ahem) "porn industry" then you either need a big johnson or to be really pretty with no morals.

There.. That's the Porn "Industry" for you.. (Like trying to break into the "food service industry" by working the drive up at Burger King.. All you need is a pulse.)

Now if you want to break into the defence industry otoh, you had better go to college.

[Republican Wildcat]

Thanks for the link...that's what I was talking about. One is supposed to buy clothes by looking a photos of several fully nude men playing sports with each other? Bizarre and perverted.

[EODGUY]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't A&F sell clothing?

Why all the nudity in their catalog? Kind of an oxymoron, don't you think?

Anything to draw attention, I guess.

If you go to their website, such as on a page where they are selling shirts, you will find a picture of a shirtless boy. That's supposed to sell the shirt? Any other company would give you a picture of a boy wearing one of the shirts. Bizarre, twisted, sick.

[Jhoffa_]

Ya know, you are right..

I am going to open a New Car lot.. And right out front by the road I will display roofing shingles.
