Entry: Shame, Shame on A & F Jul 29, 2005



Seems that Abercrombie and Fitch (way too rich for my shopper maven blood and not recommended for any true bargain hunter) have taken to selling T-shirts ridiculing my religion, Scientology.  Now I realize that we live in a screwy world, but this is simply not acceptable.  If you're going to make fun of something you really ought to know what the hell it is about.  Otherwise you are really making an ass of yourself.  In our politically correct environment, this is a very bad move on the part of A & F.  Would they sell a T-Shirt ridiculing Catholicism? or Judaism, or Buddhism, or for that matter even Mormonism?  I doubt it.  But because Tom Cruise has the guts to get out there and make his opinions about psychiatry (go to www.cchr.org  to find out how evil that branch of pseudo medicine really is) known in a big way, the ridicule and abuse from uninformed jokers starts flowing like a river.  Perhaps Mr. Abercrombie and Mr. Fitch didn't hear about the enormous contribution that Scientology Volunteer Ministers made to the rescue effort after 9/11.  Perhaps they didn't see the praise and thanks which flowed in from the firefighters and rescue workers.  Perhaps they don't realize that Mr. Cruise has paid for a de-toxification project for firefighters who were stricken with severe health problems due to their exposure to toxic materials during the days following 9/11.  This project has helped hundreds of heroes and is run using the technology of L. Ron Hubbard the founder of the Scientology religion.  Maybe they don't know that hundreds of Scientology Volunteer Ministers travelled to Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the Tsunami to aid the devastated population there with the Assist techniques of Mr. Hubbard and with their own tireless efforts to organize and aid the people there and in other stricken countries.  Abercrombie and Fitch are so busy selling enormously overpriced gadgets and geegaws to affluent idiots who are only interested in themselves, that they would never have taken the time to find out if Scientology should be respected rather than ridiculed. 

My Shopper Maven suggestion is to steer clear of this overpriced, anti-religious emporium and tell your friends to stay away as well.  Any company that sinks so low as to market anti-religious slogans of any kind does not deserve our support.

the shirt does not riducule my religion (I am a scientologist) it is cute and funny but no ridicule. If you wore it it would get conversations going so you could tell eople about our religion,

It says only " What is Scinetology? No realy what is it?"
