You may be right--I'm pretty sure I saw that guy on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's.

I hope you don't get beaten....unless you like that sort of thing, of course. :-)

Why the hell is he wearing a belt over that jacket, and why is he wearing it at chest level?

Of course, the photographer did not dare speak a word of this obvious fashion faux-pas to the Dark Lord himself.

Photog: "Dude, what's up with that belt"?

Hitler: Momentarily glances to SS troops who arrest the idiot.

No, nobody mentioned it so it's in the damn photo, armpit level. What a dweeb.

..........the replies to this..well...although humerous seem to be lacking....i take it some of you shop at the gap......what do u have to say about it?....how do u feel about the fact that you support child labour.......or do u just believe the whole smaller hands sew tighter stiches?

Joe · 01-04-2002, 05:59 PM

It's not that the small hands can make smaller stitches, it's that they can reach way inside and clear jammed thread from high-speed sewing machines and looms without having to shut the things down.

Personally, I think it's good that young children are out there earning an income and supporting their parents. After all - dad's gotta pay the mortgage, so who's gonna buy him DVD's or pay for the shit he buys his mistress? Kids <b>do</b> make some damn fine clothing, you know. Plus, they're learning the work ethic at a young age, which is definitely important. Obviously, occasionally there are some accidents - children having their hands ripped off in machines, etc. That's why they're only paid $1 per day - so the money they save on labor can go to improving the machinery.

I wouldn't want to fail to reward such unique talent with my money, nor to fail to honor it by not wearing the garments.

There's a reason Hitler always looked the fashion victim ... Jewish tailors!
