Adding to last night's American Apparel discussion, here's an article detailing CEO Dov Charney and his antics. There's are also excerpts from the Jane magazine article and it's idiot reporter Claudine Ko.

What the fuck is wrong with Claudine Ko anyway? Her attitude when I read that article really pissed me off-- she was all like, "those silly feminists wouldn't like being masturbated in front of the way I do! Tee hee!" It bothered me as much as Charney's behavior.

i know, it's ridiculous.

claudine ko is an idiot, although i also tend to think that jane is one of the worst magazines on the stands. i would seriously rather read cosmo, because at least they're not pretending to be something they're not.

All this doesn't surprise me, I work in the Montreal garment trade and EVERY SINGLE one of my bosses has been an out and out psycho, harasser or enormous asshole hurling abuse and insults at anyone and everyone, randomly firing employees and ensuring a huge turnover rate. No insurance, no breaks, barely living wage salaries, unpaid overtime...the list goes on and on ( ... )

So, what is a "quasi-socialist"? I don't recall Marx ever mentioning that term!

You are either a socialist or you aren't and his being a sexist, anti-union, capitalist are pretty good indicators that he ain't a socialist.
