Have They Gone Too Far?

By Janet Evans

If you haven't been in the actual store, I'm sure you've walked past one at either Brookfield Square or Mayfair.

They are dark, and shuttered.

They smell strongly of cologne...it pours out of the entryway.

Handsome young people, usually men, are standing inside near the doors...sales clerks.

I'm talking about Abercrombie & Fitch

The chain has been in past news before regarding their provocative ads and for charges of racist hiring policies.

They are in the news again. 

They have a new ad campaign of photos out where one photo includes three twenty-something guys in a field, shirtless, their backs to us, all appearing to be pulling up their jeans as they walk away.  One of them has some of his buttocks showing as he is pulling them up.

Walking behind them is the slight figure of a female, who is shadowed.

In Virginia Beach, police seized this mural and charged the manager with obscenity charges.

Children are allowed to enter the store and these photos are not proper, is what's been said.
