I foolishly gave my e-mail address to an American Apparel store four years ago and now receive regular correspondence from the company reminding me things like "Summer's Back!" or "School's Here!" In the most recent message, this cluster of lithe bodies at left is described as a "Back to School look." Where these people matriculated I have no idea.

That guy's head looks photoshopped on. It just doesn't look right. And that is the PERFECT look for back to school. Chonies and tube socks.

The last time I wore underwear and socks like that, boys totally had cooties.

I don't understand the appeal of American Apparel. Someone bought me a t-shirt from there and it's an XL and it's SUPER tight! I'm a size 8-10. Everytime I try to put it on I get totally depressed.

Gawd. Thats so not the "back to school" look. Its the "Friday night let's get stoned and have a threesome" look.

Hey! I went to RISD! There is a preponderance of kneehigh socks there, let me tell you. And charcoal dust.

I hate it when a-holes do something right. They have "real (skinny, pretty) people" modeling their clothes on their site.

No. 7 Lily the Pink says:

Nothing says "Back to School" like a three-way…or possibly Rodney Dangerfield, but definitely not a three-way that includes Rodney Dangerfield…even if he were still alive…although he's almost more appealing dead…I think I've abused the ellipses enough now.

I should stop reading Mollygood today before it makes me think of fat, naked old men again.

Ellipsis…

Replace "Back to School" with "Nine-Year Old Harlem Globetrotters Who Like to Fuck" and this ad makes sense.

No. 10 Lale says:

I went to FSU when it was the number one party school. I can attest to the fact that half the campus was dressed like that, including my Southern Literature instructor.

Thank you, American Apparel, for reminding us what's really important. Your crappy products let me know that it's okay for me to watch "Date my Ex: Jo and Slade" as we speak.

No. 11 batmamma says:

I have vomitted in my mouth a little at this photo, because the clothes are blah and I am not sure what this "three-some" is supposed to be saying. Personally, it appears we got some man lurvin' going on and I can not fathom what girl wants to share in that…but maybe that is my opinion.

No. 12 Laura says:

Maybe they matriculated in the "Boogie Nights School of 70's Porn"
