Boy, if you don't think that Abercrombie promotes their products to teens
and preteens, YOU are the moron. Otherwise, by some cosmically crazy
coincidence, they have accidentally caused mass teen and preteen demand for
their products. I volunteer with teens, and Abercrombie is probably the
single most popular brand of clothing. When I was in high school eight
years ago, Abercrombie was the most popular then too. These kids go into
the store. They look around. Even if they can't afford the clothes, they're
there. They want them. They see the catalog on the counter. They want it.
They want to see what's in it, especially since it's been shrink wrapped. A
lot of the time, the teenagers behind the counter will be sympathetic to
the teenage customers, so they will sell the catalog anyway. They like to
look at pretty boys and girls. They want to be like pretty boys and girls.
They want to do what pretty boys and girls do, which is frolic around
naked, if you believe A&F. 

If you don't think there is anything wrong
with all this, then say so. Make your case that it is OK for kids to see
naked models running around. Heck, make your case that it is OK for kids to
run around naked themselves "having the time of their lives" as the
Abercrombie CEO has put it. But don't argue from an intellectually
dishonest position. You simply make a fool of yourself. It is patently
obvious that underlying your entirely dense argument that this is not
intended for teens, you think wholesale sexuality among young, unmarried
teens is permissible, nay, even desireable. Your hatred for those that
would attempt to curb the sexual corruption of our youth is laid as bare as
the models in the catalog by the idiocy of your bankrupt argument.
