Abercrombie & Fitch - Who Needs Brains When You Have These - T-Shirt Boycott
Mega retailer Abercrombie & Fitch has announced that it will stop selling several t-shirts after being boycotted by teenage girls. The girls have objected to slogans on the shirts they believe are demeaning. Who need brains when you have these slogan t-shirts, and Blonds are adored, brunettes are ignored are two of the slogans that may have led to the teenage girl-cott.
The teen-oriented apparel company, often criticized for its suggestive advertising featuring scantily-clad young models, did not specify which T-shirts it would pull but said in a brief statement that “We recognize that the shirts in question, while meant to be humorous, might be troubling to some.”
Earlier this week, the Women & Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania launched a “girl-cott” of the store in protest over the T-shirts, launching an e-mail campaign and appearing on NBC’s “Today” show to air their concerns.”
