A&F punk'd

[keltic63]

my apologies to any A&F twinks who hang out here, especially you Andy, what with those abs you have!:

I was halfway through the video, crossing my arms - that perfectly formed 24 pack of abs flexing in the wind - vibrating in the breeze - okay, wobbling in the slight air movement as people walked by.

My hats off to them - but definitely not my shirt.

Sorry to highjack, but I reminded of a recent event. Someone came up to me, while in the company of my wife and several friends, and told me they loved my belt and asked where I got it.

I looked down. I shifted slightly. I shifted a lot. I tried to move my belly to one side or the other. Finally, I asked Jenna which belt I was wearing.

[Sigh] I'll not be living that down for quite some time.

I'm hardly a habitue of A&F (though I did buy a lovely pair of summer-weight, cream-colored trousers there back around 1990 before the re-branding), but the couple of times I've been in one in the last two or three years...not only was it ridiculously dark but also incredibly loud.

I mean incredibly loud...so loud I only lasted a minute or two, thinking this is a workplace lawsuit waiting to happen.

Guess they're going for the nightclub look and feel.

And the lemmings are lapping it up.

Sad.

I read the first panel and went "This has ImprovEverywhere written all over it". I haven't checked out any of the new actions in...months, so thanks. :)

As for the store...yeah. Ridiculously loud. I went in once, laughed at how much they were charging for jeans that literally looked like someone had painted a house in them, and then laughed harder when erasure came on (mostly cause erasure just always makes me giggle).

...terribly, terribly GAY.

:eek:

Watch the related video of "agent reactions" ... the world is so friggin uptight! I love the Improv Everywhere stuff ... they did a "Cell Phone Symphony" with like 50 cell phones at a bag check in a library ... pure genius. If you're the manager of an A&F, and this happens at your store, what kind of brainless wonder turns it into bad PR instead of embracing the moment and getting good exposure (no pun intended)?
