I’m all against American Apparel ads (here, I made it public). Their numerous quite questionable ads (you have to keep in mind that they *say* that their models are their shop employees /at least in Canada/), I think the i’m-making-home-made-porn-advertising isn’t really both either necessary or useful for a clothing brand. I mean, it was cute at the beginning, like, 5 years ago. Now it’s just pissing me off. At least their clothes are sweatshop free. I’m glad it’s really told in their ad campaign. Oh, and AA founder once masturbated while being interviewed. But that’s ok, coz (it seems, since the source’s a blog) the interviewer said that “Dov Charney is a mad man and I like that”. It reminds me a bit of Sisley adverts. thanks for listening.

“President Nicolas Sarkozy plans to [open shops on Sunday] as he tries to spur consumer spending and fulfill a pledge to modernize France. A bill is scheduled to reach parliament early next year.” AT LAST I would say. From my north-american point of view, closing shops on sundays is placed between being crazy and stupid. I still don’t understand the logic behind it (it will encourage excessive consumerism/sunday should be for the familiy and prayer/clerks need a day off). C’mon! If I’m working 5 days a week, from 10 to 19, there’s no way I can shop on weekdays! Then I have to go and fight for a place in a dressing room with half of Paris on Saturdays cause shops are closed on Sundays. Please, please, open them.

Napkin notebook. I just love the idea. or it’s the stupiest thing I’ve seen lately. I can really decide yet…

“Canadian teens have ranked third in a global education study on science performance published by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.” I know, I know, we, Canadians, are sooo brilliant.
