I fucking hate that arguement.....probably half the clothes you are wearing were made by child labor in other countries, what are you gonna do, go naked....do you have any proof to back up your broad allegations against gap? Just because something is popular by the masses, doesn't make it bad, it makes it popular....I'm sorry all your ultra hip hipsters have all sold out to the Corporate Machine...but what are you actually upset about? That your non mainstream indie performers tried to get a broader audience by being used in a commercial..? I just don't get your type of arguements......I'm not saying I a big time Gap wearer....and I do have problems with concepts like Baby Gap...but throwing around the accusations like Maoist and youth labor...I'd like to have a peak into your closet.....
