NAVIGATE TO QUESTIONABLE CONTENT!
As soon as you click to enter the site, you are confronted with a nude (or semi-nude) body. Click on A&F Quarterly and you encounter an image in which there are 3 human bodies and the total count of clothing articles is 1. Click on Lifestyle > Movies and you will find a distinct lack of product for sale. Hey, even watch their movie. I don't think you see much for sale in that thing. Now click on Lifestyle > Photos and the motive becomes even more clear. No clothes this time, just a prelude to a nice gangbang video. Browse through their photo archive for more evidence. Now check out their Screen Saver! Ok when do we get to the point where we're selling clothes? More Links... Contact Us, CNF Mail, ok you get the point.
Hey it's not like we in the adult industry have a particularly reputable product as a whole, but at least we don't dupe you about what we're selling*! I dont think I'm surprising many of you with this post, but I think it needs to get out there for discussion. Here are a few quotes I thought of while browsing this site:
"What... nobody on this site is wearing anything.. what am I buying again?"
"Buy, but dont *wear* our clothes."
"Two men for every girl who wears one of our tops... and then takes it off."
"There's something about these clothes... must be laced with pheromones or something because I am getting hard staring at this girl... who isn't wearing any. So odd."
"Does their retail store Musak include audio tracks from porno?"
Yeah, the forumla is obvious. Link your product with sex. The strategy is as naked as their models. Does anyone else feel cheated or something? I mean.. they aren't breaking any rules, and for a porn webmaster like myself to call them indecent would be hypocritical. Well, they DO sell to kids who are younger than 18 years old, I guess that's where a little outrage could come from.
Let's hear some thoughts.
* most of the time.
