It has recently come to my attention that clothing company Abercrombie & Fitch doesn't want people who are "overweight" to wear their clothing. It is part of their corporate directive to only target "the young and beautiful," not only to wear their clothing, but to shill it as well.

My own beautiful niece says she has been approached several times to work in an Abercrombie & Fitch store, and was told that they intentionally recruit attractive people because that's the market they want to wear their clothing.

And I find it the height of irony that someone who claims he only wants his business to appeal to beautiful people looks, himself, like the product of a three-way between Rocky Dennis, Joan Rivers and the albino monk from the DaVinci Code.
