Creative girl nails it to American Apparel

For years American Apparel has been sexualizing young girls and underweight women and men in their ad campaigns. Now they've decided to start offering larger sizes, and sponsored a contest where plus-sized women posted photos of themselves to become the next face of American Apparel. They just weren't counting on anyone intelligent and lacking the need to find beauty approval finding out about the contest:

Another shirt that puts us back 50 years...

Leave it to Forever 21 to take up the cross of anti-feminist clothing slogans, now that JC Penney has taken their shirt out of circulation. Sign the petition and let them know this needs to stop:

And it's just one in a line of "thinking sucks" shirts, for girls only of course:

Who has time for homework when there's a new Justin Bieber album out?

Yet another large retailer destroying girls' self esteem, and ignoring any progress women have made in the last 50 years! Not only should you think you're stupid, girls, you should wear a t-shirt that proclaims how great it is to be stupid.
