Ambercrombie and Fitch = White BET
April 12, 2009 No Comments
Objectification knows no color or gender. Anybody can be exploited.
In a move that is puzzling to the American retail industry, clothier Ambercrombie and Fitch has not joined in the chorus of businesses trying to cut the U.S. consumer some slack.
Actually, decent slacks in A&F will run you upwards of $60.
Trust me, I know.
Not only do they continue to stay in high-priced luxe mode despite an out-of-touchness with U.S. consumers, they continue to push controversial ad campaigns that are oversexualized and fleshy.
What BET has done to the image of the black woman is what A&F has done to the image of the white teenage male abdomen: Objectify them.
All they need are videos and “Hell Date”.
