Dov Charney... A new nominee for Greatest American
I work in a custom apparel business. We get a lot of samples from t-shirt and sweatshirt companies who want to supply us. No big deal. About a year ago, I started getting samples from a company called American Apparel. The samples came with catalogs with different, normal looking people, but they were kind of edgy too, guys wearing tighty-whiteys, girls wearing next-to-nothing, etc.
EXAMPLES (Not nude, but not far from either): hxxp://www.jewlicious.com/wp-content/aa2.jpg hxxp://www.americanapparel.net/morephotos/4415/4415_05.jpg I did a little research and found out that American Apparel is a US based (LA) apparel manufacturer that is sweeping the nation. They pride themselves on being "sweat-shop free" and delivering a high quality product. I then read up on the President of American Apparel, Dov (That's "Dove" without the e) Charney. Here he is: Here's some excerpts from an article I read from Jane Magazine: Quote:
Just a weird dude. He has a waiting list for people that want to work in his factorys. He pays more than minimum wage, he gives free insurance, free massages, they march on May Day, he's a cult hero. Oh, and his company grossed nearly $150 million last year. Some quotes from Dov: "What I’m talking about is the exploitation of human potential instead of the exploitation of humanity. I’m saying you don’t have to fuck the Third World up the ass, or the shareholders, or the consumers, or the Canadian and American workers, to do business." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I can’t wear any brand on my body - I just freak out. I mean, if I’m with a girl who’s wearing a Christian Dior necklace, I can’t even fuck her. And then there are those girls - like every girl I seem to find - who has one those Louis Vuitton bags. C’mon, it’s fucking false tribalism." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Look, I’m not that ethical, but you don’t have to be the most ethical person to know that slavery was wrong. And a lot of the liberal, political shit that’s been written about me is just horse-shit. "But of course what I do is morally motivated too, because when you treat people well you’re doing something right. The truth is that when I walk through my factory, we’re all cheering together because we’re all making money together. If everybody touched by your business process gets a boner, or a smile or feels good - whatever it is that turns their crank - you know you’re doing something right. And you ain’t going out of business. "But if you’re Enron, and everyone is getting fucked up the ass, you’re doing something wrong. You’re not a good entrepreneur, you’re just a fucking Soprano parasite." So let's do a revote on the Greatest American thing. Dov Charney for Pres. |
