What a loser.

Makes me want to go buy a size small shirt and cut the design to fit on one of my XL (or old 3x) shirts and wear it around just to pi$$ him off.

But I wouldn't give that man one red cent!

Not to be mean, but considering he's a huge d-bag, I feel justified in saying that I saw a similar article the other day accompanied by his photo.... where does he fit into his "good looking people only" company? Just sayin.

WOW. that is ridiculous. Very maddening to read. Definitely won't ever purchase anything from them. Not that I have a desire to as their prices are astronomical for a bloody t-shirt.

Some peoples children, I tell ya.

Wow. loser, indeed. And not in a good way. How can people be so shallow?
Sounds like he never really grew up. It's astonishing how many children there are walking around in adult bodies...

That's a good question. It seems Hollister has the same image as A&F.

I don't buy clothes from ugly business men so I guess me and Mike Jeffries are even.

Edit to add: UGLY is a reference to this man as a human being, not just physical attributes. We who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, is that the saying?

I'm sorry, but I hope this article gets lots of publicity and that everyone boycotts his stores. Unfortunately, a lot of people share his exclusionist mentality. This guy really deserves some serious karma payback, which they say is a b*tch!

Targeting a niche market? OK, whatever, that's his perrogative. Implying/stating that the teenagers (or others) who don't/won't/can't shop there are less "American" or can't be well-liked or can't be beautiful, etc. is not great to say when they sell to teens. I mean, what is he thinking? I've worked in a school district and that is the kind of thing people say that can really cause some damage with kids.

Other than the whole kids thing, I'm kind of feeling "meh" about it. I don't shop there anyway, so...

Edit to say: I didn't like the personal attack at the end (not professional, and not rational-sounding). Arguing about Jeffries' looks honestly is useless and rude. :/

Angry He is a jerk!

What a jerk! That is so exclusive, idiotic and rude for him to be saying that he wants to market his clothing only to the "COOL" people. That is what is wrong with a lot of our society. I confess, I had a hard time having the cool kids liking me and I look back on it now and it was a blessing in disguise because I feel stronger now. People like him really irritate me. He is sending a distinct message to our youth that it is important to "fit in" and be "COOL," the polar opposite of how I feel. Sigh.
