So, I realize that American Apparel ads have always gone for that "so natural and seemingly carefree that we border on and sometimes well surpass just plain ugly" feel, but their most recent ad has succeeded in not only instantly grabbing my attention but also scaring the crap out of me:
I'm thinking "Classic Guy" is code for "Patrick Bateman's More Deranged and Twisted Cousin Who will Lock You in a Broom Closet." Epic advertising FAIL, American Apparel.

You not only stopped to notice the ad, but you also dedicated an entire blog post to it. I'd say American Apparel did a smashing job. However, I prefer their promotions with spandex and high-sock clad Asian women.
I still don't understand why this warranted a blog, two tweets and numerous time spent bemoaning creeper man ad. I mean, the glasses were the best part of the ad...
