Site picks 50 sluttiest American Apparel ads

American-apparel

You know you've been working the slutty angle when someone can look at your advertising history and narrow it down to the 50 sluttiest ads. That's what StyleCrave has done with American Apparel. (The gallery is NSFW, it probably goes without saying.) The occasion is the recent ban on an American Apparel ad in the U.K. for sexualizing a model who appears to be under 16 years old. (The model is actually 23, but looks younger.) The company has bigger problems this week, though, as it's planning to lay off more than a quarter of its factory work force in L.A. amid a probe by U.S. immigration authorities.

Ridiculous. If the model's of-age, what's the issue? If uptight male censors feel uncomfortable because she appears younger, that's their issue.
