Abercrombie & Bitch

Oh, those guys at Abercrombie & Fitch. They don't want any overweight people wearing their clothes, according to their CEO. But you know, they could have accomplished this without offending everyone with such discriminatory comments simply by designing the doors in their stores to be shaped like in-shape people. Then overweight people wouldn't be able to fit into the stores, and they'd get what they want without even having to say it.

Oh, but to help them get over this little PR issue, why don't they create a special brand for overweight people? Then their CEO could say he doesn't want people who are in shape to wear this brand, because it's not meant for them. And perhaps they could license the name from me, for I have come up with a name for such a clothing brand specifically for couch potatoes: Potato Skins! (Get your potato on!)

Here's my previous post about Potato Skins:
