Most people are aware that the we'd still existed before they were born. Youth is not an excuse for ignorance! Nice try... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1748888 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 22:10:15 +0000 Sofiel 1748888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seriously?! You can't tell me there's not one person working at the company who remembers this event?! Besides, the person posting must have googled something in order to come up with the photo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1748886 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 22:05:46 +0000 Greentea 1748886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: omg I just cannot. with the lululemon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1748172 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 14:58:07 +0000 .twist. 1748172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: My husband didn't know about the event either.

As someone who was born after the Challenger explosion, this is ridiculous. What an eff-ed up company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1746956 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 07:00:51 +0000 looch 1746956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As someone that watched the Challenger explode on TV, live, in grade school, married to someone that lived in Europe at the time, I can tell you all that my husband had no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the Challenger explosion, and he's normally pretty well versed in world events. </p> <p>I do think this is just another example that shows how some companies are really an extension of the person in charge (Lululemon also comes to mind). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1746953 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 06:57:32 +0000 Adira 1746953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Seriously!

I don't understand how one company can continue to make such huge missteps and act baffled and like it was an honest mistake every time. And the apologies are always ridiculous - I don't care how old you are, that does not look like fireworks. At all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/american-apparel-speaking-of-teh-dumb#post-1746906 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 05:45:31 +0000 Silva 1746906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband and I have a long running joke about american apparel, and their efforts to get all twenty year olds to wear the ugliest, least flattering clothes possible.

What a coincidence. </p>
