Celebrities In The Bedroom: Star Sex Product Endorsements
Romney's 'Assault' Attack Contradicts Former Stance
Two stories in the news today have us thanking our lucky stars that you don't have to be good-looking to be a blogger. One is about pharmaceutical reps who use sex to close the deal, and the other involves allegations that American Apparel owner Dov Charney is reacting to flagging sales by firing unattractive employees.According to some Pfizer sales reps currently chatting on the CafePharma message boards, when pharmaceutical sales reps visit the doctor, they're doing more than giving him a box of free pens. A lot of the sales reps are very attractive young women who, if they don't actually sleep with a doctor, know that at the very least some intense flirting could help them land a sale. Nice to know our health and the medicines we're prescribed rely so heavily on who is best at batting their eyelashes.
In oddly related news, that bastion of "hipness" American Apparel is looking to fire all the uglies. Turns out owner Dov Charney made managers of stores that weren't doing well send in group photos of all their employees so he could weed out the "unattractive" ones. He thinks they're detrimental to the store's aesthetic, which last time we checked was only attractive if you're into ridiculous haircuts and ironic glasses. Sorry, Dov, but it's hard for anyone to look good in an oversize flannel shirt and slouch socks.
It looks like it doesn't matter if you were a cheerleader in high school or one of those kids with an inconsolable crush on Devendra Banhart, you'd still better be good-looking if you want to get ahead. Sigh.

You’ve got to be kidding! That “Mug” is rating anyone, has he looked in the mirror? LOL, oh my goodness, talk about nerve. To the kids that this monster let go, baby count your blessing you will do better.
**Click above where it says Firing unattractive employees**
I think we as consumers should not buy cloths from a company who’s CEO or owner looks as bad as he does. Good lord what will his off spring look like, they may start out cute, then at about 13 it’ll be time to go under the knife for them.

Well, after seeing his photo, I see why so many of the male models for AA have goofy facial hair. Soo, either we perpetuate the exploitation of a lot of people by buying cheap sweatshop-made clothing, or we add to the paycheck of one chauvinistic pig. Idk... I think I'm still on AA's side. The economy is better off if we buy US made products from places like American apparel... or just buy vintage or thrift. He's a bad person with a good company... it happens all the time.
I shop online anyway... the store employees are all wannabe hipster bastards, attractive or not.
