american apparel: bridging marketing and prOn
Posted: January 29, 2010
american apparel is up to yet another amateur porn marketing ploy. it’s brilliant really considering the following two things:
- sex sells
- people, without a doubt, love looking at ass
the contest is this: you send in a picture of your ass wearing something american apparel and if your ass gets chosen then you (according to a small committee of guidos) have the best bottom in the world
– but that’s not all! you win a chance to model all their assets using your ass – check the contest here
i am not really surprised about the campaign, or mad (see #2 above), i just thought it was a little trashy to only offer $300 in random american apparel shit for the top ten runners up at the the worlds best bottom
– if i had the second best ass in the world and all i got was a grab bag i would be bummed. get it?
this isn’t my first time talking about the sketchy ways of american apparel – but let’s be honest, i purchase their shit.










Completely agree… Trashy, but I did check out all the contestants…

Seriously? $300? They must feel like prostitutes.

Won’t be long before that stuff will be all over billboards and shit. My friend went to Germany and he said he saw some pretty racy stuff on their billboards. You are correct, sex sells.

so the real question i’m left with is, what outfit did you wear for your submission?

Dov Charney will do anything to keep the status of his mustache “sex offender-ish.”
