    It's ridiculous for the Daily Fail to complain about sexy ads when 50% of the paper is devoted to vag shots of D-list British celebrities.

    There's more underage sex, nudity, drug use and violence in any two minutes of the British TV drama "Skins" (aired here only in a censored version) than in all the American Apparel ads put together. So, perverts, heal thyselves, or something like that.

    Good Lord. I masturbate at least as often to the Disney Channel as I do to American Apparel ads, but no one seems to be concerned about that.

    If he pays thousands of people a living wage and helps keep wages from slipping further for everyone. He's done more for this country than most people. I don't care for his creepy personal life, but at least he's not very good at hiding it. Compare to people who just take (Ted Haggard and his prostitute binges) or talk a good talk about morality but go on drug addled sex tours of the Caribbean (Rush Limbaugh).

    @miss_msry: Well, he pays them well over minimum wage so, while it's not legal to hire them, I can think of quite a few more exploitative "gettin' rich" schemes out there, and your comment was also uninformed with a slight hint of racism. What a win for America.

    So his use of illegal workers kind of undercuts the company's boast that all its products are made in the U.S.?

    U.S. factory; Asian sweatshop conditions.

    @Seeräuber Jenny: Naah, his factories in LA are not sweatshops. And his workers, illegal or not, make approx. $500/week, which is three times more than the going wage. He's not a bad garmento--just kind of a douche.

    @snugbug: I live right near the factory, and it's a sweatshop. He also doesn't pay everyone who works there what he claims, and as none of his employees can collect un-employment, he's not exactly the fab guy his press releases claim.

    @Lulupasternak: If your worry is supporting the unemployment rights of contracted workers, you should stop reading Gawker immediately in solidarity. It's actually not that uncommon, though it's obviously highly questionable, in legally hired workers, either.

    Have you been inside the factory that you live so close to? I know quite a few people who have, and it's not a sweatshop. Being a factory =/ sweatshop. That seems to be something that a lot of people can't wrap their minds around so I'm genuinely not trying to be condescending.

    I have emapthy for the workers however the owner is a bit unrealistic. Bush had eight years and assuming that President Obama should have or would have or even could have pulled immigration reform off in less than eight months is a behemoth exgaggeration of the imagination. I hope he does many things folks but please give him time.
