Everyone knows how much I hate American Apparel ads. But I think they may have outdone themselves this time:
There is such a dark undercurrent running through this ad that makes my liberal heart go all aflutter. Spelling Africa with a K? It is a shout out to Afrikaners, or white colonial Africans. Throw in the lily white model "seductively" posing in tribal prints... seriously, this is so yucky! I really wish American Apparel would just take their ads and go away.

yeah, that is pretty bad. love how in the previous ad you posted, the girls were at least cute but in the middle was some guy who looked like he came from a bad 1970's porno. And Africa with a 'k' and the fact that those tribal prints look hideous. so glad i have never bought anything there from AA.
