American Apparel is under 10 years of age - so it makes sense such a young brand has found a way into the hearts and wardrobes of the world's hippest kids.
i-D Magazine
September 2007

From Seoul to Shoreditch, New York to the Netherlands, Fukuoka to France, American Apparel continue to put most of the high street to shame with their innovative designs - without resorting to copying designers. Their ads, complete with hot girls and boys from the AA staff, have a perfect Terry Richardson-style grunginess. The clothes live up to the ads' promises - and have ensured the brand's visibility in high class places. See the metallic leggings rubbing shoulders with Balenciaga and Givenchy in every fashion shoot for autumn/winter. And that bodycon low-back dress worn by headturners everywhere, in shades from black to fuschia. They even expanded from cotton to jeans and cord - a hit with the East London teenage contingent. Children and animals get a look in too, with multicoloured babygrows and mini tees providing parents with an excuse to dress up Junior and Rover just like them. The latest demographic given the AA treatment is Kensington's locals. The brand recently opened their forth store in the UK on High Street Ken. Get down there for some priceless pocket money style now.

also, there is a short but very good video here about the miners' protests, with some good interviews and some spectacular fights, showing among other things that the rubber bullets shot by the cops are like golf balls and certainly not non-lethal:

I remember thinking Bullshit was a decent show until I got to their episode on Taxes, then I stopped watching completely. They should have just titled that episode "Vote for Ron Paul" or Bullshit: Helping the Poors.

Also why do they hate Lord of the Rings so much?

I'll confess to even being more of a manchild 20 years ago than I am now, and I while I never owned a firearm, I was heavily in support of the right to at that time, often read Guns & Ammo, etc. I recall this book being heavily praised especially considering the authors supposed biases at the time heading into the research, and a quick googling now about it of course inundates me with libertarian sites and gushing reviews from the expected fans. Never read it at the time though.

So, what's the general consensus on this 20 years later? Other than this chart I see posted (often mocked), haven't heard much about it. Could someone offer up some links to well reasoned critique of the book that I'm obviously too inept to find?

Not a pic, but does anyone have that really depressing thing someone in LF wrote about third world labor and the lovely things they're enslaved to make, and the terrible conditions, hazards, etc.

It was a rambling narrative about a production cycle and how terrible every step of it is and for what little value, and it was phenomenal and I wish I had a copy of it.

The series delivered a powerful blow against the Ku Klux Klan's prospects in the northern USA. The human rights activist Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the KKK and other racist/terrorist groups. Concerned that the organization had links to the government and police forces, Kennedy decided to use his findings to strike at the Klan in a different way. He contacted the Superman producers and proposed a story where the superhero battles the Klan. Looking for new villains, the producers eagerly agreed. To that end, he provided information—including secret codewords and details of Klan rituals—to the writers. The result was a series of episodes, “Clan of the Fiery Cross,” in which Superman took on the Klan. Kennedy intended to strip away the Klan's mystique. The trivialization of the Klan's rituals and codewords was perceived to have had a negative impact on Klan recruiting and membership.

Reportedly, Klan leaders denounced the show and called for a boycott of Kellogg's products. However, the story arc earned spectacular ratings, and the food company stood by its support of the show.
