A woman's response to recent A&F headline!

She comments that A&F sells XL And XXL for men but not for women which sends a strong message about "fat women". Take a look and see what she says.

Abercrombie & Fitch under fire again!!!

Are you popular, hot, and sexy? If not, the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch does not want you wearing their clothes! A&F appears to be popular among young adults in Korea but did you know that A&F is under fire again by the very thing the CEO says?

For starters, you have never seen a fat person wear A&F clothes because they don't make XL or XLL clothes! Why? Because the CEO does not want any fat people wearing his clothes so they simply don't sell them. Also, A&F has been known to sell sex to teens and young adults by exhibiting provacative models who are barely clothed in their advertisements.  Judge for yourselves!

As consumers, we have the choice to buy and promote companies that best represent our values. Will you continue to advertise for A&F for free by wearing their logo on your T-shirt?  Just a thought to chew on.

2nd Writing Assignment!



For those of you getting a head start on writing your second paper, you may choose to write about any topic of your choice! I would like to learn what kinds of issues are most important among Korean university students.  Just remember to use the five-paragraph essay style format as the first writing assignment with a clearly stated thesis-the focus of your paper.  Remember, your thesis statement should drive your paper!

Remember to capitalize after a period.  Use a spell check.  And please type your names.

Good luck!
