This kind of corporate douchebaggery is, unfortunately, legal… but it certainly doesn’t make for a responsible corporate image. But A&F has a long, long tradition of being shallow and exclusive; I present for your gratuitous enjoyment a cartoon by Al Frueh, published in The New Yorker in 1926 (click for a larger version)

I remember buying one of A&F’s lighter-fluid-fueled hand warmers in their NYC shop as a kid, because it looked cool:

It’s basically just a slow-burning lighter, but it worked great. Aside from that, I don’t think I’ve ever purchased anything from them over the subsequent 50 years. But then, I’m not one of the “beautiful people,” so that’s OK according to them.
