Abercrombie & Douche
Mad TV takes on the store that hires buff, shirtless tools to stand outside their doors during the holidays in scarves and knit caps while ultra-loud music ensures swift hearing loss for patrons inside. Alanis Morissette helps out. (Want more Michael McDonald?)

Should A&F Be Selling Crack?
Parading around butt cleavage ain't no thang in Abercrombie & Fitch's book. It's like totally intentional, actually, so a Virginia Beach store manager ignored incoming customer complaints regarding a few of the posters with plumber's crack on display. Local law enforcement wasn't digging the low rise funk either, so they confiscated the posters and slapped an obscenity charge on the manager.
Yeah, Baby!
100 shirtless men descend on Abercrombie & Fitch. Sound like a dream? It was an Improv Everywhere skit to test how far they could infiltrate the "Shirtless Zone" that is A&F.
Do You Think Abercrombie & Fitch's Quarterly Is Too Racy?
Do you remember A&F's first quarterly from the Fall of 1997? The book was chock full with articles and photographs of young, good-looking, and fit male and female models wearing minimally-logoed Abercrombie & Fitch clothing. The book was incredibly controversial and according to Fashion Week Daily:
It was pulled from US stores in December 2003 after numerous boycotts from religious organizations and women's rights groups alleging its sexually explicit nature, promotion of alcohol abuse, and other cultural concerns.
Word of the Day: Frathole
We've spent a lot of time analyzing a particular genus of the species douchebag. He is the club-dwelling, Ed Hardy-wearing, faux-hawk sporting guy who inexplicably gets the babes (well, a certain variety of babe, who probably deserves him). I can't believe that when we tried to come up with a replacement term for douchebag, among the many terms we considered, we didn't include the awesome frathole.
Headline of the Day
Seattle University Targeted Theme Party
Glen Butterworth, assistant to the dean of students, is rapidly in danger of being dubbed "Public enemy douchebag #1" after warning Seattle University students that hosting a "Douchebag Party" to poke fun at frat (and sorority) culture on university campuses was in violation of the student code of conduct, falling under the category of "gender bias." The party invited men to wear popped collars, aviator shades and flip-flops (wait — no tribal tatts or fake tans?!) and the women to wear Abercrombie & Fitch clothing and to talk "incessantly" on their cell phones. This is much ado about nothing, if you asked me.

Dear Poll: Would You Take a Vacation by Yourself?
I really relish my alone time, but I have to admit, a little goes a long way. Yesterday I was reading an article on Forbes.com that was all about being alone — traveling alone to be exact. Since not everyone has the luxury of having someone to vacation with, companies like Singles Travel International and Abercrombie & Kent provide an easy solution — grouping singles with other singles who are interested in seeing the same sights.
