American Apparel Takes Break From Exploiting Women To Exploit Immigration

AA_ad.12.26.07.jpg

Just when you think American Apparel CEO Dov Charney is a total asshole, he goes and places an ad in the New York Times that makes you realize he’s a total asshole who considers Mexicans his pet project:

Over 12 million human beings have become integral to our society, economy and culture here in the USA, yet they do so in legal purgatory. While no serious political voice calls to send them back to their previous home countries, very few have the courage to admit that the only realistic option is some form of legal integration, coupled with a legitimate, forward-thinking immigration policy.
At what point are we going to realize that the status quo amounts to an apartheid system? At what point will America stop living in a state of denial?

Not anytime soon if the Gawker post where we found this story is any indication. Their response to the immigration issue?

At what point will your billboards show some equal opportunity and start featuring fully-splayed half-naked men as well as women?

True, but sometimes it’s the prostitutes and tax collectors who are closest to the Messiah. Translation: Looks like a pervy Canadian is the only one ballsy enough to hold a mirror up to America and tell them to say, “Queso.”
