Man, you weren't joking when you said A&F was targeting gay men. I honestly have never been in any of their stores, so I had no idea it was THAT gay.

i think it might be a fantasy of dan's to make sweet love in an AF store...

By the title, I was expecting more hotness. Maybe there were 111 shirtless guys, but only a handful of them were actually good looking.

Gloria @9, A&F is definitely targeting the gay audience. A few years ago some of their print ads were basically bisexual soft porn with guy/guy/girl groups. A&F is definitely gay, in a sort of repressed, frat boy, poseur kind of way.

Oh, and who the fuck pays $45 for a tee shirt?

Any excuse for masses of half naked boys is a good thing.

Their t-shirts suck. Big fabric letters, oh, how cool. Their woven casual dress shirts are awesome. And yes, I pay $80-100 for them. They'll last forever, and they feel great. And you get a cool bag with it.

There is something about the atmosphere @ A&F that makes me spend the money. I start bobbin' my head to the music, and the next thing I know, I'm buying shit I don't even need.

Clever, clever folks.

I love them, have a dozen of them and they last forever and still feel GREAT. The only thing there that a 35 year old can get away with buying (that and their boxers)

I hope you are having a better afternoon! It seems like your morning kind of sucked.
Go to Abercombi and buy yourself a shirt to cheer yourself up. If I lived near you I would take you there and buy you one but I'm very far away...

We don't do that HERE!" I have never forgotten this line. They really don't like cameras there more than the shirtless men. 5th Ave thinks it's the East Coast version of Beverly Hills when they really is not.

The old woman at the end of the video it pretty funny when asked if some of them were good looking: "Some of them were and some them weren't"

Might've worked if all of the guys were 400 pounds with hair on their backs.

But wow, you're right about that being the gayest looking store ever.

Other than that, the video wasn't that funny... people's reactions are always interesting though.
