Hmm? I guess I'm not as hip as the others who posted comments, I don't even understand what they are trying to convey. Fair labor practices do not excuse soft porn advertising and the exploitation of girls. These adds perpetuate violence against women. I am seriously disappointed in you, Waylon. Judging from the gratuitous photos you've graciously provided us, I'm guessing you are whacking off as well. Just because somebody is open about what they do doesn't make it okay. Not sure I get your 90% remark, but these photos, which reach millions of people, perpetuate violence against girls and women. It's a net loss if you ask me. You just lost my vote for city council and I will share this with my network.

i miss old AA! now it’s just cheesy and, yes, fair-labored, American giant. let me get this straight: Dov hasn’t anything to do with his company or its image for couple years or so now, when he sold his shares. and those years when he was involved with AA were the best ads wise: the skimpy dressed girls were the girls he actually shagged (hence, if you work at AA and want to be in its ads, sleep with Dov, he will photograph you and here you go. lots of fame driven girls would consider that), and i thought those raw pics were the coolest ads ever. now however, spotty and imperfect (therefore, perfect) girls were replaced with strike-the-pose models, which sucks and is plain boring. it’s just not the genuine thing anymore. but wacky men with moustaches – rock on for ever!
