Obama’s Abercrombie Boys

By Fausto Fernós on April 24, 2008 | Share & Save | Link | Print |

Honestly I don’t know what to make of this.

As soon as the Bama starts talking they start answering cell-phone calls, checking their text messages and looking pretty uninterested in the whole affair.

In case you’re not familiar with the clothing label, in 2005 Abercrombie & Fitch settled out of court in a racial discrimination lawsuit for alleged racial, ethnic and gender discrimination against employees and job applicants.

Will this cost Obama the election? After all, everybody knows NOBODY would be caught dead wearing A&F these days. It’s all about Hollister.

Thanks to Queerty for their observation on Obama’s concession speech.

Reason #502 why I typically despise people wearing AnF.
Seriously though, if you somehow get the seats in direct shot of the camera have the common sense and courtesy to turn off your cell phone so you’re not directed and recorded being a dueche bag on live TV.

chalk it up to a bunch of idiots making complete asses of themselves, and nothing more.

input your comment here… besides the shirts, I swear the left two are Identical twins, and the third guy almost looks like one, another brother I say. The shirts are the most “difference” between them. And while they mostly appear not-so-interested, it’s funny to see - while they are in the middle of their own discussions, and the crowd responds to Obama - they hoot and holler, without knowing why.. gives a new slant to the idea of being part of a ‘party’.

Ugh. What a bunch of assholes! And they look so stupid in their Abercrombie and Fitch.

Oh the humanity! I’m deeply offended that these dumb queens are destroying and rejecting our God given and once eternal cultural role as style and taste makers. A&F was always lazy boorish “fashion”, and hasn’t even been marginally “fashionable” for years.

do guys still think that wearing a&f makes them “straight-acting/looking?” because wearing a&f screams “queen” to me even louder than throwing on a wig and an oscar de la renta.

nice shirts

I just thought to myself- here is a man who might be the NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and all you want to do is check your text messages? On camera?

So does this mean the Bama wants the A&F gays to be with him? Why?

Everybody knows that Hollister is where it’s at. Sadly though, I think both companies may be owned by the same people, and Hollister is just an attempt to wash off some of the bad PR they’ve gotten from their discriminatory hiring practices, not to mention the absence of diversity in any of A&F’s advertising.

I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing any of their clothing, unless they drove a dump truck full of money on my front lawn!

I’ve never heard of Hollister, but I have NEVER been an Abercrombie fan.

That being said, these three nincompoops simply knew they were on TV and were dopey enough to continually call people on their cells and/or recieve text messages. It made them look like bigger idiots than they already are and didn’t help Obama either.

I don’t think Obama knew what they were doing (unless of course he has eyes in the back of his head), but surely his advisors will be much more aware of who is seated directly behind him in the future.

i love it when fausto mentions dump trucks of money or anything for that matter…i think this video is indicative of the general indifference and boredom people have with obama. hillary should totally exploit this.

And what, exactly, would she gain? All she is doing is further dividing the Democratic party. McCain’s out there touting his plans for when (and if) he is elected, and Obama and Clinton are STILL fighting EACH OTHER. Are we really benefitting from this internal bickering? I don’t think so. All we’re doing is losing the election in November.

rick, be aware that its hard to convey irony/sarcasm over the internet.

I am watching CNN right now and they have these fools on LIVE - like this is important campaign coverage, like this matters in any way. Thanks CNN, and thanks to all the media coverage for keeping Americans informed on all the important issues.

What disturbs me most is that none of them had flag lapel pins.

lol jim!

It was only a matter of time, but because of the publicity over the shirts, looks like some non-Obama supports are now selling the “Obamacrombie” T-Shirts. Guess its a quick way to make some money. I think the link is up on Towleroad.

Next thing you know they’ll give the lunks a reality TV show.

Ugh. I’m so tired of it all.

What have we become that we are more concerned with these boorish girls in the crowd more than the content of his speech? I’ll tell you. Bored.
