Has American Apparel Gone Too Far This Time
Do you like this story?
American Apparel is going out of business, but before they do, they're letting the world know that sex sells in a big way honey. But a lot of tight ass douchebags have been asking whether or not they've gone too far this time. For example, to sell nail polish they've got a topless chick sitting in a mannequin factory and to sell knee socks they have a college girl in just knee socks hanging from a tree.
UK DailyMail asks:
Some Tweeters have reacted to campaign, branding it 'creepy' and 'out of hand'.
Previous adverts containing similar themes have been banned in the past by various advertising authorities.
Most recently, American Apparel agreed to comply with a UK ruling to not display an ad that appeared in VICE Magazine because it had the potential to 'widely offend' people.
In 2007 American Apparel put up two billboards in New York and Los Angeles featuring an image of Woody Allen's character from Annie Hall dressed as a Rabbi.
