Pathetic is the word that comes immediately to mind. Even when I was in this jerk's target-age audience, I could never understand why some people worshiped youth. At least in his case it makes sense: vacuous kids respond to the exclusive clique mentality with money.

Cripes.

Dude, he's got store bought teeth, a tanning booth glow, NordicTrack biceps and probably a facial peel, whatever the fuck that is. California, through and through.

He makes Gary Bussey look normal. 



Ok, strike that...they're about equal.

Yeah, in a class by himself.

From Wiki:

Jeffries dyes his hair blonde, works out on headquarters in the campus' gym, and wears Abercrombie & Fitch apparel with flip-flops whether cold or wet. He also wears customised clothing from Savile Row, the legendary London tailoring street. At first glance, he is described as quirky, weird, and insane, but peer workers also describe him as "unbelievably driven and brilliant". His quirks include: going through revolving doors twice, never passing employees on stairwells who in return avoid passing him (he greatly returns the courtesy), parking his Porsche every day at the same odd angle at the edge of the parking lot (keys between the seats, doors unlocked), and wearing a pair of "lucky shoes" when reading financial reports (a worn pair of Italian loafers that a secretary keeps in her desk) - he is superstitious about success.[3] Jeffries is as well "touchy-feely" with some employees, both male and female - decidedly paternal.[4] Jeffries appreciates the rugged, beautifully muscular, male form. He is known to have a picture by Herb Ritts of torso of a toned man above his bedroom fireplace.[5] In an interview by Benoit Denizet-Lewis, Jeffries expressed his thoughts on overweight teens saying, "Candidly, we go after the cool kids...A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes]...Are we exclusionary? Absolutely. Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny...You don't alienate anybody, but you don't excite anybody, either." As for the accusations of Abercrombie & Fitch degrading teens with sexuality, he stated, "People said we were cynical, that we were sexualizing little girls...I still think those are cute underwear for little girls...anybody who gets on a bandwagon about thongs for little girls is crazy. Just crazy! There's so much craziness about sex in this country. It's nuts! I can see getting upset about letting your girl hang out with a bunch of old pervs, but why would you let your girl hang out with a bunch of old pervs?"

On behalf of heterosexual females, I'd just like to thank you for posting this link.

Glad to be of service.  Don't be afraid to ask if there's any more servicing you need.

So much of the  design, fashion and popular culture meme consumed cluelessly by the straight world started with the gheys.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

It's actually just as clueless in the gay world. Hell, you live here JR. I'm sure you see just as many young guys, and I mean late teens or early twenties, who have shit jobs and probably half a dozen roommates eagerly clutching their A&F, or Armani Exchange shopping bags trying desperately to meet some bizarre notion of acceptability.

About the only new clothing I buy is grown-up clothing for my work at temple, and underwear. I can't imagine being that consumed by fashion dictates, or trying to meet the weird body-perfect standards set up by closet-case assholes like Mr. Abercreepie.

The citation was issued under City Code Section 22.31, Bernstein said, which makes it a crime to display "obscene materials in a business that is open to juveniles."

why am I not surprised?
