too many american apparel posts?

Are there too many posts on american apparel on this blog that friends start sending me more american apparel stuff to write about? I have no idea. But please see this post as my last on that topic for some time. It took me a second to realise that this is ought to be fun. Well doesn't that say something about my american apparel opinion (hey, I love american apparel stuff and I'm currently wearing my beloved lamé leggins). A very good friend of mine is working there. I hesitate to send her that article...

14 American Apparel Models Freed In Daring Midnight Raid | September 19, 2007

LOS ANGELES—Acting on information gathered from billboards, alternative weeklies, and Internet banner ads, an FBI strike team liberated 14 dazed, sallow, and undernourished American Apparel models in a raid on the controversial organization's downtown Los Angeles compound early Monday.

"Many of them had been given nothing more than a pair of tube socks or men's briefs to wear."
Froman said it took agents nearly 20 minutes to cut through the holding-cell padlocks, only to find the ambiguously ethnic-looking captives living in "unspeakable conditions."
"They just stared up at us with blank expressions of utter confusion," Froman added. "I don't think they'd seen the sun in weeks."
