I have my dignity.

Here’s a thing I wrote about a movie.

Did you read it, yet? Good, now we can move on and discuss something more important.

Forever 21 is a sneaky, sneaky christian corporate WHORE. I guess this is not new news. But it is news to me. I did some quick googling and found out I am not the only one who has noticed THIS…

The HELL?

I don’t like it. I don’t like it when Top Chef tries to sell me Glad Trash Bags and Uncle Ben’s Microwaveable Rice.

I didn’t like it when Heroes tried to push that Nissan Rogue on me, either.

But I have a very special hate for anyone attempting to smack me with the God Whammy.

So screw you Forever 21! And your only begotten son. I may not have everlasting life, but at least I will not be playing puppet to your master.

For at least two weeks. Then I will need some new eleven dollar dresses. (ELEVEN DOLLARS! WHEE!*)

*Obviously, I have no reason to feel guilty about paying this price for a dress. I mean, a Christian man would never profit from a company which earns its money from the sweat of five year old Guatemalan children, would he?

I am SHOCKED and OFFENDED and MORALLY OUTRAGED. But damn they have some good prices. I am still going there Saturday. You in?

You know it!

In-N-Out has that same messaging on their bags, cups, napkins…

Made with the love of Jesus.

i almost bought that duvet cover - ikea, right? love it.

also…what the hell??? john 3:16? now i have to go look up what it even says.

thou shall not pay more than $15 for a dress, perhaps?

Wow, that is incredibly creepy.

Forever 21 has really cute panties though. For like $3. That are $16 at the GAP and made by the same Guatemalan children. Who wouldn’t want their adorable black lace boy shorts on sale and approved by God?

He stamps each bag by hand, you know.

It’s good to know you have standards.

Kind of.

7 Melissa { 05.29.08 at 1:14 pm }

Apparently, the Forever 21 people are really REALLY Christiany. Like, one of their fashion consultants had to find Jesus before they’d hire her.

I’m confused and somebody just walked into my house downstairs and the dog is barking “stranger! stranger!” so I might die.

I’ll let you know.

9 Kristen { 05.29.08 at 2:09 pm }

Okay, I’ve narrowed it down to either the wind or the guy who died in the house 3 years ago. Either way, I’m safe.

Anyway, Forever 21 is a Christian organization? How do they explain some of the hoochie stuff I’ve seen in there?

I thought Jesus freaks didn’t like boobies.

My girlfriend has that same duvet cover.

Yeah, Ikea.

11 MizFit { 05.30.08 at 5:52 am }

this jewish woman was SO TORN when she, too, discovered that.

I decided to drag m y cheapshoppinarse elsewhere.

12 arielle { 05.30.08 at 6:25 am }

I am mourning right now.

13 Jess { 05.30.08 at 8:00 am }

God voted for Bush, right?–so why wouldn’t he also love quality stores such as Forever 21? I hope Wet Seal also has a strong Christian foundation. Clearly God has always supported slave labor and poorly made clothing.

14 Heather { 05.30.08 at 8:07 am }

I followed the link to the other person who noticed this…and then began reading the comments. And I could not look away. I had to read every last one. I needed to be held after.

Also, I have that duvet cover. Orange is rebellious.

15 kiala { 05.30.08 at 8:24 am }

heather - I totally just read them all too. I…uh…OH MY GOD….but mostly - Curves Gym supports abortion terrorism?! I’m going to check that out right now. That scares the crap out of me.

We totally had the same thought - a few months apart.

17 gman { 05.30.08 at 9:46 am }

only if he was a catholic man!

18 Sue { 05.30.08 at 2:52 pm }

You should come with me to the XXI out in Washington Square. It’s amazing. They must know there are far more teenagers out there to confuse by selling them slutty clothing and telling them they will go to hell for it.

I’m sure you are all aware of this website already as i tend to me the last to know about things, but just in case:

There’s a restaurant here called Cook Out who does burgers ‘n milkshakes n’ unsolicited Psalms on their styrofoam cups. I once confronted the woman at the drive through and told her that I preferred separation of church and shake. She blinked twice and gave me a handful of napkins.

21 melissa lion { 06.02.08 at 1:09 pm }

I love all the duvet cover comments.

I think god would disapprove of their returns policy. Exchanges or store credit only? Please.

22 kiala { 06.02.08 at 1:23 pm }

I MISS YOU MELISSA LION.

23 soyouthinkyoucandance { 06.03.08 at 10:08 am }

Bravo, Forever 21. Not only did you get a rise out of her, but got her quoting the bible. Mission accomplished! Kaila, It will come at you in more ways than that……..watch your back, He will pursue.

24 kiala { 06.03.08 at 10:11 am }

I’m shaking.

25 Hannah { 06.07.08 at 8:10 am }

Wait, In-N-Out too?

This kind of reminds me of the time chris and I had to get some trees cut down at our last house. After the guy left, we realized those christian fish thingies were carved into every single stump. Of course, they quickly turned into the darwin fish.

26 Caspian { 07.18.08 at 2:26 pm }

I don’t think Jesus would approve of the skimpy, and revealing fashions that are being sold to teenagers at these stores. Another classic case of hypocrisy and bigoted bible thumping.
