The catalog is racy because of their photos and texts about group sex and masturbation.
Inside the catalog people could find a group of naked teenagers sleeping under a Christmas tree, surrounded by gifts or teenagers on a country side, crossing a creek without a shirt.
The magazine says: “Sex as we know it, includes one or two people, but why not more? The ménage a trios is usual configuration. An orgy could include a certain unlimited amount of lovers. Groups can me mixed or the same sex, friendly or anonymous. A pleasant alternative and very secure is group masturbationâ€.
The magazine talks about the importance of having many sexual experiences when a person is in college and includes a letter to Santa Claus in which they forgive the people whom they have offended in the course of the years, among the ones “girls who wears
G-strings, vegetarian people, Mrs. Claus and the impotents.
Even though the catalog is aimed to those after 18 yrs old; many people are against it because they are promoting sexual promiscuity because it does not matter if that catalog is sold to people above 18yr, which does not mean anything. A person of 20yrd could buy the catalog and then show it to people underage, once it is bought.
These same clothes brands have had many problems in the past, and it was call a racist some years ago, because they would not allow black people to work in their stores.
In addition, this brand launched on 2001 G-strings and thongs for 8 yrd old girls with the word “kiss meâ€.
Even though USA is already used to sex, people believe that Abercrombie & Fitch has gone too far with this catalog.
Im no prude but I believe that kind of advertising is very inappropriate, kids learn too fast what they see on TV, magazines, etc.

What kind of parents are those? And I still ask myself, why the need to use those explicit things just for people to purchase clothes and worse, why they use teenagers, they should use adults, if the message is so explicit? Iknow that brand is aimed to college or teenage people, but the way they advertise their clothes on that catalog it is something that is not suitable for teenagers.
Every year A&F come out with a more outrageous item/catalogue. It's called publicity. Negative publicity is better that none & appears to be working for them.
I'm sure their catalogue is a hot item. Whether it actually sells clothes is another matter.

What is it with
The reason "they rule" is because they put out a Playboy magazine every christmas under the guise of their "Holiday Catalogue".

I shop for some of my clothes at Old Navy, and am quite pleased with both their prices, and quality.
I really hope that my daughter doesn't share the same opinion as him when she is a teenager!
This is what I did...I started out by telling my DD that she has a set amount for clothing...anything over that, she has to pay for.
