		<description>I heard a lot about No Sweat, but what about Blackspot sneakers, made by the people at Adbusters ? They are pretty transparent concerning were the money goes, and the footwear is "cruelty-free".

Concerning Dov Charney, I don't see anything else here than a pseudo-hippie douche going for the casual attitude by running his business in his jammies. 
Too bad the women he hired didn't buy it and he had to force his way into their pants.

And as Craig pointed out, this business started as a capitalist endeavour, therefore tainted. The brand American Apparel is probably more about suiting a hipster crowd with monbey than it is about defending human rights. 
Fortunately, sweatshop free is a popular element to communicate about nowadays; unfortunately, it apparently has to be mixed with a sexual imagery inspired by both Terry Richardson photographs and the worst galleries made by insecure/egocentric girls on myspace to be something you can make money with.</description>

		<description>Sorry, I'm just struck by the retardness (is that a word? It is now...) of being angry at a company who pretends some social responsible but doesn't necessarily deliver.  What's the alternative?  Going naked?  Wearing stuff made with slave labor that has the good sense not to pretend it has a social conscience?

Anyhow, I intended a certain subtext to my sarcasm.  I was trying to point out that capitalists do bad things.  We all know this and it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.  I wasn't just being an asshole.  In fact, any assholishness was purely incidental.

I’ll never buy anything again.

		<description>i said most of that to ward off              D-Rock and his aluminum bats from smashing my knees as i owe g7 95$! 

my brainfart of a rant is generally directed to most of my male friends who will never read it, and even if they did they'd react in a guilty-baby kind of way. 

i also just like rehashing what i've learned about gender roles in the past few years, really i'm no one to judge (trust me!), plus i don't think you owe an apology.</description>
