I knew a girl that used to work there--they encourage their employees to get their "hot" friends to apply. Although they could never admit this, they would NEVER hire anyone remotely unattractive. Geez, Cassie, what's with the gay bashing?

Thank goodness for corporations like A&F, whose social conscience and support of the community will help the lives of many children. My children love the store, and I love taking my children to shop there. I prefer my retail employees to be pretty. Who wants to be serviced by someone who is ugly? I would never spend my money in a store full of ugly people. If the employees are ugly, what does that say about the clothes they sell? This donation is just an extension of their mission: to make the world beautiful.

How pathetic that this company has sought to buy-for 10 million dollars-some sort of "respectability" on the premise of "helping sick kids." And that the hospital let them do it. A gift should be just that, one with no strings attached, especially when those strings come with naming rights.

If no one bought their crapola they wouldn't sell it. Obviously some parents are caving or think it's cute. These are probably the same brilliant parents who subscribe to abstinence only sex education. My daughter is only two and I already prefer dressing her as a boy. Who puts their toddlers in mini skirts!?!

Everytime I walk past taht store in the mall I can close my eyes and swear I am passing a gay bar. The thumping, repetative disco, the over powering smell of cheap cologne. Then O open my eyes and I a sure I am outside a gay bar. The HUGE posters of gay men in various stages of undress and the trannies at work at the register. Gay, gay, gay.
