Your Turn

American Apparel posted the photo above, minus the censorship squares to their Instagram and called this a back to school mini skirt. Good advertising or just porn?

    It would have been even better if it were a dude in the skirt.

    I side-eye any woman who shops there. This company has been exploiting and sexualizing young women for years, it's not new or a secret. Their ads are banned in my hometown because of it.

    Plus their clothes are so basic and way overpriced.

    You can buy better quality at Target or Old Navy at cheaper prices.

    Haven't shopped there in years due to them using Uncle Terry & not to mention Dov still works for them even though he's been sued too many times to count for sexual harrassement.

    Ah the endless debate, buy cheap, child labor exploited clothes from overseas or buy clothes made in the USA that exploit young teens here. Is there a correct answer?

    How is this any different than every other ad or picture out there? EVERYTHING is oversexualized nowadays and it's gross. It's only going to get worse, soon you'll look back on this as tame and boring.

    I went poking through American Apparel's Twitter feed to see the uncensored version. It's either been deleted, or it's a fake, 'cuz it isn't there. I'm betting fake.

    BTW, in the uncensored version, the models are wearing panties.

    It's disgusting but for American Apparel it's pretty standard.

    Considering American Apparel hires porn stars to model their clothes, I think that shows the message they are sending.

    AA is doing it for free publicity. The sad thing is, girls will buy these skirts. The way they're dressing, the clothes are getting skimpier and skimpier. Girls this summer, are wearing short shorts with their but cheeks hanging out. I thought it was a joke, and my friend told me that was the style.

    Eventually, it will be normal to walk around naked. Then what?

      @Crila I walked past a girl who had to be around 13 wearing those granny panty-like bottoms over tights and a crop top. She was with her mom too. W. T. F.

    Incredibly creepy.

    That American Apparel store is so over-priced and just complete junk. Is it actually made in America?

    It's a typical porn fantasy in the guise of an ad. That is all.
