Makes sense, as they don't want to send a mixed marketing message. They don't want to be known for douchebaggery, just pedophilia.

My sister and law used to be a designer for AF on the kids side of teh business. They sent her around the world to check out fashions and such.
She got fed up with so much of the BS and left the place.
I will have to fwd her this info....tooooo funny

Hey I mean I've gotta tip my hat to the situation. Never heard of someone getting paid to NOT wear certain clothes. Sounds like easy money to me

A&F pulls off another PR bonanza... this has been the lead story on a number of legit online "news" sites today. Somebody just got promoted!

Why would you turn down advertising it the 18-35 year old market. That market is the hardest to reach and costs the most to advertise to thas why their stock dropped.

That's what I immediately thought when I saw this. Brilliant marketing move. Just signing him to an endorsement deal would have done little for them. Whatever they pay him has probably already gone positive ROI based on the publicity generated.

I think it was a joke...a joke that backfired (referring to the decrease in stock price).
