American Apparel clothing. Sure their ads (and CEO) are creepy but you're supporting American made products.

Creepy? Do tell.

Creepy in a pedophilia kind of way. The ads feature what look to be 15 year olds wearing skimpy outfits. I feel dirty going into the store looking at all their ads that are plastered across the walls.

 

Some info on the CEO from wikipedia:

Charney is a controversial figure, having had several consensual sexual relationships with employees. [3] In 2005 three former employees filed sexual harassment suits against him. Two of the lawsuits have since been dismissed. He is also accused of conducting job interviews in his underwear and giving employees vibrators.

Great. So we can either support China and its questionable labor practices, or support an American company led by the world's creepiest CEO.

LMOA. It's wrong, but his wiki entry made me laugh.

 

 

Though I do wonder what is controversial about having consensual sexual relationships with employees

Yea, that's just kind of sad.

 

Steff, right or wrong, a corporate, public figure should be morally above some of that stuff. SHOULD BE being the choice words. Sometimes, standards are set higher, and I don't see anything wrong with a higher moral compass for people like this.

Sex itself is creepy, Steff. Ewww.

The heart wants what the heart wants. He wasn't married, I assume his partners weren't also - or maybe that were the controversy comes in. People should be so nosey and concern themselves with what others do in their bedrooms.

Yeah but he's the CEO. Consensual or not, that is highly inappropriate in Corporate America.

True, but it got out somehow. If it's MORALLY wrong (affairs, etc.) that's totally different then dating people (or whatever you want to say) at work - that SHOULDN'T matter. That's the risk, though. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't... and if it doesn't, there's usually some bad reprocussions. That's all I'm saying.

 

Besides, I think mreye pretty much summed up the thread.

Glad I missed getting that memo.

I hear ya. It's something I'm familiar with, seeing just how stupid and annoying nosey people can be, and it ended just fine so I'm on the pro side.

I understand, and I know that sometimes it's a positive. It's a delicate line.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

 

That isn't always the intention when a boss and employee are having sex...

You are correct. What the penis and vagina want, is usually what the penis and vagina get.

EARMUFFS!!!!!
