Yet another
American company that sells clothes that were made in a sweatshop overseas then turns around and sells the items for ridiculous amounts of
money. Now, don'
t get me wrong. I know there are much more expensive stores out there and that they probably have sweatshops as
well. However, Abercrombie and Fitch were sued in the 1990's for unsatisfactory working conditions in their sweatshops in Saipan, a US territory. These violations included rat infested barracks (the places where the workers slept), locked fire exits (so that in
case of a fire, the workers were trapped) and over 100 other health violations. Personally, i think that Abercrombie and Fitch is a stupid store, and it's not because i can'
t afford it, or am ugly, or
whatever everyone who absolutely loves the store thinks. It's because of the products they sell (sexually oriented clothing, even for children) and the way they sell it (half naked models who are unhealthily thin). Plus, my
sister and i both agree on this point, the stores I've always been in stink to high heaven.
oh, and for all of you abercrombie lovers out there who claim that everyone who hates it is ugly,
please go listen to yourself and decide if you actually sound like someone who others would care to listen to.
Next
time you put on that nice
little minimum-material-required
t-shirt from abercrombie and fitch, think about the kids that made that shirt making less than $1 dollar/hour. Yeah. have fun with that.
