Comments on: American Apparel, American Adonis http://blog.synthesis.net/2005/10/17/american-apparel-american-adonis/ A music blog with a techy twist, twisted content, and other entertainment oddities viral and live from Northern California.

In the new issue of Jane, on newsstands but not online as of right now, she even admits it: "I'm also pissed that people keep miscontruing my story and using it to feed a flawed cliche were men are evil and omnipotent while women are mute victims lacking free will. Who was really exploited? We both were -- American Apparel got press, I got one hell of a story, and we both had fun. And that's it." In addition, the "female employee," as the article vaguely and somewhat sordidly identifies her, is in fact American Apparel's art director and has been in a relationship with Dov since before she joined the company. It's not like she's the coffee girl who Dov is forcing to fellate him for a raise. Sure, it's all a little kinky, but these people are all grown-ups and can make their own decisions, which they have -- and that shouldn't detract from the positive contributions AA has made to the garment industry with its high wages, generous employee benefits and innovative business practices.
