Abercrombie guys at Obama Speech in PA |
|
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 10:00 PM by michele77
Anyone notice the 3 Abercrombie guys behind Obama at his speech? What the hell is up with that? It's annoying as anything and driving me nuts. I want to watch the speech but...

6. Not as annoying as the numerous A&F posts. |
|
Seriously, you can't block them out and focus on the speech?

considering it is someone's JOB to place people behind candidates at these sorts of events I thought it was incredibly ridiculous. That, and when I saw the three men standing there, periodically talking to each other and looking bored as hell, it really irritated the shit out of me. Having three guys standing behind the man who will (god willing) be the next president, wearing the same snobbish, elitist logo, acting as if they couldn't give a shit that they were there sends a really crappy message that I'm sure HRC fans will jump all over. :argh: Sorry, I'm incredibly aggravated that I have to listen to pundit-drivel for who knows how long now. God I wish this process was over.

21. are you fucking kidding me? |
|
please, please tell me you're both joking. the only people around here that wear A&F are the frat boy/sorority girl oil kids, who drive $50000 cars and couldn't give a rat's ass about democratic causes, multiculturalism or open-mindedness if their lives depended on it.

14. Tune out the pundit drivel. You'll be a lot less aggravated, trust me. |

Does A&F even mean anything any more ("snobbish, elitist", Charles Lindbergh, etc.) or is it more cheap shit from China? I think of vacuous models waxed to within an inch of their lives when I think of A&F. And Americans in debt up to their eyeballs to have "designer" brands.

17. You're right about their inappropriate demeanor. |
|
Maybe it was a prank, maybe it was some kind of "viral marketing" thing from A and F. I'm thinking maybe it was just a bunch of fratjerks who decided to go to an Obama rally to pick up young Obamagirls.
I'm an HRC fan, and I'm about ready to jump all over it. ABERCROMBIEGATE! (We haven't had a good new "gate" for a few days now.)

20. I think it was. Fingergate was debunked, these gates occasionally are disproven - |

like Bookbaggate. I actually am interested to find out what the deal is with Abercrombiegate -- I expect we'll find out in the next few days --
1) Who were those guys? 2) Was it some kind of "guerilla" "viral" marketing from A&F? 3) Was it the result of some kind of deal between Obama and A&F, like product placements in movies? 4) How did those guys get that position behind Obama? 5) Were they just there to pick up girls? 6) (This one might be the worst one for Obama: ) Were those fratjerks actual Obama supporters? Are they typical sexists/ageists, it's all about beating the old lady, bros-before-hos types?

I was thinking the same thing. Did you see the guy on the left answering his cell phone at the start of the speech and laughing like an idiot? Annoying ...

Doesn't surprise me at all that people like that would show up. My 2 younger brothers seem to live and die by Abercrombie
edit: that was supposed to be a reply to the OP
