Product Placement

While I have not spent money at Abercrombie and Fitch for roughly ten years, I will continue to not do so, when I prevent my future children from being into it. Abercrombie planted three young men in obnoxious shirts behind Obama during his speech in Indiana last night. These three morons stood not far behind him, most likely out of being paid by Abercrombie to get there early and purposely stand behind him. Did anyone see this?

Here’s the deal Abercrombie, if you are going to plant folks at Rush Limbaugh’s campaign rally, make it look more genuine. That idiot with the buzz-cut head couldn’t have appeared more apathetic, almost as though he was just there to punch a timecard. I appreciate Abercrombie working to stay with the young, but our young voters have more sense than this. Quite simply, with the shear amount of irony and conspiracy that pervade popular culture today, the owners on the PR-side for Abercrombie mistook putting these three idiots behind Obama as something no one would catch. Keith Oberman called it immediately after as well, which was pretty hilarious. In short, Abercrombie, if you are going to do that in the future, please be more competent.

Apparently, I am not the only one that caught this!
