All Sexed Up And No Place To Streak
We read an article today about American Apparel. We've been to the store a few times; they promote themselves using slogans like "Made in Downtown LA" and using photography that is downright hot. We also appreciate that the companies founder has posed nude in adverts.
Well now the founder is facing all sorts of sexual harrasment cases [3] from former employees. The Times article states a few things that the leadership at the company leaves himself open to these sorts of things, since he walks around in his underwear.
We tend to think that its probably inappropriate in a normal office for someone to do that. We also don't think its right for someone to be harrassed at their place of work. But at the same time, would anyone really think that working at a place that has soft core porn advertisements would be an environment they would want to work in if they were not open about their sexuality? Its sort of like walking into a the offices at Penthouse magazine and then saying you are offended by all the naked pictures.
We think American Apparel clothing is overpriced and targeted for hipsters. But we also think that maybe other overpriced clothing stores should pick up some of AA's practices like making clothing in the United States. We also think most of our country is too caught up with the Puritan sex ethic, and that everyone should be allowed to walk around their office in their underwear.
