Well, let's just hope that Endeavor Acquisition Corporation is willing to follow Charney's footsteps and masturbate in front of female journalists.

"What's wrong with being sexy?"

Welcome to American Apparel, where you have a choice, NOW PICK A COLOR. NO, YOU DON'T PICK THE CUT. THERE'S ONLY ONE CUT. PICK A COLOR.

Their briefs look nice, but they are so tight they cause headaches after about 4 minutes.

I don't buy their shit because I'm fat, but I would like to know if they are going to keep the manufacturing in L.A. or if they are going to farm it out to sweatshops outside the U.S.

"American Apparel . . . will be sold to a little-known investment firm for $382.5 million, according to people briefed on the matter."

What's the difference between a sweatshop in the US and a sweatshop outside other than the fact I pay for the education, healthcare and retirement for the American workers?

The diff is that AA doesn't run sweatshops. They bust unions, the owner has run, er, a rather sexually charged workplace. But they don't do sweatshops.
