Police seize Abercrombie & Fitch posters from mall store

http://www.dazereader.com/24001083.htm Abercrombie & Fitch has discontinued its quarterly magazine-catalog, which consistently incensed the bluenoses with its beautiful black & white preppy softcore pictorials. But retail outlets still display posters in the same vein, and bluenoses are still getting incensed. Virginia Beach police seize photos from Abercrombie store.

Police, saying they were responding to citizen complaints, carted away two large promotional photographs from the Abercrombie & Fitch store in Lynnhaven Mall on Saturday and cited the manager on obscenity charges.

Adam Bernstein, a police spokesman, said the seizure and the issuance of the summons came only after store management had not heeded warnings to remove the images.

]...] Bernstein said the summons for a Class One misdemeanor was issued to the manager because there is no legal way to issue a summons to a corporate entity in such circumstances. The manager was not arrested but faces a fine of up to $2,000 and as much as a year in jail, if convicted.

And before you say, "But there not really gonna press charges against a retail clerk", remember Jesus Castillo.

The mural-like black-and-white photographs were taken from the store at midafternoon.

Bernstein confirmed that one depicts three shirtless young men from the back, walking through a field. The man in the lead appears to be about to pull up his jeans, which have slipped down enough to reveal his upper buttocks.

Here's the offending photo.

Oh no, buttcrack, call the cops!

The other image is of a woman who is topless and whose "breast is displayed with her hand covering just the nipple portion," Bernstein said. "You could still pretty much see the rest of the breast."

Someone is facing jail time for working someplace where "you could still pretty much see the rest of the breast". Unbelievable. Newspaper reports haven't reproduced this photo, but it probably looks something like this past Abercrombie store poster.

Elsewhere, some A&F dudes frolic in the locker room. Oddly enough, shower time was exactly like this where I went to college.
