Oh fuck. He's Canadian?! I already have to apologize daily for Pam Anderson and Avril Lavigne.

Also, I'd just like to mention how often I feel conflicted about organizations I want to support. To me, American Apparel is like PETA -- two organizations who do some pretty positive things, while doing some pretty misogynist things. I am passionate about animal rights and fair wages for garment workers... why must they come served with a heaping side of female exploitation?

(And yes, I support my local SPCA and fair-trade, sweat-shop free brands. I know there are other alternatives. But sometimes, I want to protest KFC and wear mass-produced hipster shit, damnit.)

@GiuseppeRoloson: No crap. What do they do when you gat an A+, actually make out with you?

Yuck. That put an awful picture of Dov Charney in my head. Gag me with a spoon.

Well, Mills is such an obscure name and philosopher, it isn't like he defined utilitarianism or anything. Why bother to learn how to spell a five-letter, important man's name correctly. Lame. I have better things to be doing with my $33K a year life.

@Snow@Snowbunny:

This is obviously the greatest comment ever.

In your hurried attempt to lambast the honest 20-something-year-old mistake of a high school educator, you actually forgot to bother to learn how to spell the FOUR-letter name of that important man.

I giggled when I saw the first mistake, but then you continued to dig that hole with your explicit counting of the letters.

You must be a joy to be around with your pseudo-intellectual pretensions. Bravo, Snowbunny, for that beautifully disastrous presentation of your blind hate.

Even if they are real there is no way in hell these were not released by a PR flak. "Convenient" doesn't even begin to describe it. Like some random worker at the factory would suddenly decide to up and scan these documents.

Also it just lends further evidence to the fact that Charney is a narcissistic, self-congratulatory person that he would have his report cards hanging up for all to see.

@Shannon: So getting my SAT scores tattooed on my knuckles would be a bad idea, huh? Yeah, I thought so.

This confirms my theory: charming, slithery, no morals...

Dov Charney is Voldemort.

That's absolutely pathetic. Regarding Choate, I mean. For the sake of presently-enrolled young rich kids and their merit-scholarship-winning brethren and sistren, I hope to hell the excess of kissassery in Charney's files is a thing of the distant past. And I don't even know where to begin with that "Mills" business.

That still doesn't explain why his teachers wrote him love letters like gushing 12-year-old girls on his report cards.

The Menendez Brothers attended my high school before they moved to LA and offed their parents. Only a few of their former teachers still remain, but all have said they seemed fairly normal and nice. Just another example of how the person you can be in high school is not necessarily a reflection of who'll you be later in life.

Um, being liked by teachers doesn't mean you're a nice person. Just saying.
