Bob Jones bans Abercrombie and Hollister from dress code
http://www.bju.edu/prospective/expect/dress.html

Student Expectations
Dress Code for Men
General Dress

Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style–not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted.

Sideburns should not extend past the middle of the ear. Men are expected to remain clean-shaven.

Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are not permitted.

Hats may not be worn indoors except in the gym.

Men are not permitted to get tattoos or wear body piercings.

Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, we will not allow articles displaying their logos to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way).

3. Let us also not forget the biblical admonition against wearing fabric...
made from mixed fibers. No cotton/poly blends!

2. I seem to recall allegations A & F touted their beautiful employees: did
such as that cause BJ to get its panties in a wad?

4. "In protest" ?!
Kind of a strange thing to call "protest".

I suppose the ban on necklaces, earrings and bracelets is in protest of Madonna's wearing them?

7. I can't believe
people are so stupid.

"unusual display of wickedness" I like that phrase. I'm going to start using it daily. :D

8. Wow, they even fuck with the rich!
See, this is what ultimately will cause the Fundiefreaks to lose all hold over our gummit. Rich people can't stand being told what to do.

13. Did you see "LadyKillers" with Tom Hanks?
There's an unusually cruel joke at the end most people won't get.

12. The idiots are so arrogant as to
believe they know and speak for Jesus Christ.

14. Hair can't be "shelved"? What does that mean?
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 03:55 PM by Rob H.
:shrug:


Edit: Okay, I get that body piercings aren't permitted, but how are they gonna check? Unless a guy can't resist showing off his shiny new Price Albert in public, how is anyone else gonna know?
