Grant Morrison in Abercrombie & Fitch Quarterly Catalog

Um, no comment.

http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/news/july02/78.html: MR. MORRISON, GIVE US YOUR BEST "BLUE STEEL"

"The latest edition of A&F QUARTERLY, Abercrombie & Fitch's catalog, has hit the streets with its usual blend of controversial nude photos and an intriguing mix of entertainers. Included in this new catalog are actor Hayden Christensen (STAR WARS EPISODE II), comedienne Sarah Silverman (GREG THE BUNNY), author Jonathan Safran Foer (EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED), SNL's Ana Gasteyer, singer KYLIE MINOGUE and NEW X-MEN writer Grant Morrison.

Asked by A&F's Sean T. Collins about his approach to his work with the mutants, Morrison explains that he "designed NEW X-MEN to engineer a new way of thinking, and it's the biggest audience I've got in comics so far. I just want to get to those kids and change the way they think. Where are we going? What is genetic modification and cloning technology going to do to us? What are the possibilities for mutation? How soon will people like the X-Men walk among us? I think it's just 20 to 30 years!" You can read the entire interview by picking up A&F Quarterly in any one of Abercrombie & Fitch's stores."

"The underwear for young girls was created with the intention to be lighthearted and cute. Any misinterpretation of that is purely in the eye of the beholder," said Hampton Carney, an Abercrombie spokesman. He said the thongs are aimed at girls no younger than 10, since they come only in sizes medium to extra large." ...
... Bill Johnson, president of the Christian nonprofit American Decency Association, called Abercrombie "financially desperate," with little regard for the "innocence of young girls, and I think it's really outrageous."

"... Cecilia Wheeler said she was shocked to find Abercrombie & Fitch's latest catalog in her mailbox addressed to her 17-year-old daughter. "I opened up the catalog and I about died," Wheeler said. "First thing I see was two naked people on the front of the catalog. Then I proceeded to look through it and saw that there was nothing but naked women -- young women from the waist up and nudity on young men -- backsides. ..."

Of course, there were also those hilarious A&F t-shirts with the "Wong Brother's Laundry - Two Wongs make it White" written on them. It's really a forward-leaning clothier.

I sincerely hope that he's doing the "hey! What's that, far off over there? Let me point at it!" pose that's typical of these kind of catalogues. There should be blood spilled if he ain't.

Hi-fuckin'-larious. You can tell that A&F is really trying to win back the Asian-Americans by putting Sarah Silverman in the damn book. For those that missed it, she got a lot of flack about a year ago for calling someone a "Chink" on "Politically Incorrect" and refused to apologize about it.

Great. Now I have to go to the mall and pay a fashionable teenager to go into A & F and nab me the catalog.

14:05 / 19.07.02

Oh, someone just scan this bullshit, please? I'll love you long time.

Hang on...last time I looked Abercrombie and Fitch made sturdy walking clothes for hunting and country walks. Did I miss the "Grant Morrison's bollocks" meeting?

I had a dream the other night where GM was supposed to play Merlin in a new King Arthur film but he got poorly.

Why does the quasi-anorexic in the pic have an ankle sprouting from her elbow? Is this a new fasion thing?
