A muslim walks in to Abercrombie and Fitch and applies for a job........

Sounds like the beginning of a politically incorrect joke, the punchline would have something to do with overpriced distressed burkas, or whatever. Well it's no joke, and the punchline is a real hoot. AF is getting sued for not hiring the young woman. In the lawsuit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Tulsa by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 17-year-old Samantha Elauf said she applied for a sales position at the Abercrombie Kids store in the Woodland Hills Mall in June 2008. The teen, who wears a hijab in accordance with her religious beliefs, claims the manager told her the head scarf violates the store's "Look Policy." There is a multitude of shit wrong with this story, I'll try to hit the high points without getting too long winded, I can't promise any political correctness.

Let me start with the obvious, anyone who shops at an Abercrombie and Fitch should be forced to spend the remainder of their pathetic, jaded lives, wearing Rustler Jeans and subsisting on Slim Jims and bad haircuts from one of those discount super smart cutz joints. Anyone who buys their children's clothing at an AF, should be arrested for child abuse, clearly they are grooming the child to be another tragically hip douche bag. You can buy shitty, over sized clothes for your pup at Walmart, run over it 3 or 4 times in your driveway, hit the seams with sandpaper, and splatter some paint or something on it, voila, Abercrombie and Fitch. Abercrombie and Fitch is the leading cause of douchitivity in seven out of ten hipsters, it's a pandemic, and it must be stopped. If you shop at AF, and read this blog, you had best cease the practice of one or the other. Wearing a ragged, gray, size 3 x sweatshirt, with a giant fuckin AF on the front of it, while reading this blog, will make your head explode, ruining your day as well as your shitty looking plaid ball cap with the frayed bill. I'm sorry if I come off a little hostile, but I loathe places like AF, and I'm not overly fond of the INK reading, soy latte sipping, shit birds that tend to shop there.

That bit of diplomacy out of the way, let me say I defend Abercrombie and Fitch right to not hire this girl based on the way she looks, or more to the point, her manner of dress. I also believe the young woman either on her own initiative, or through someone else coaxing, applied for this job knowing full well she would be turned down. This stunt is a money or attention grab, and it's a big part of what is wrong in todays overly litigious society. I know of at least one lawyer who reads this blog, that will probably disagree with me, but lawyers tend to have a vested interest in what constitutes a persons right to sue. Coffee too hot, burn yourself while talking on the phone, applying your makeup, whilst driving down I 70? Sue the fucker who made your coffee too fuckin hot. Offended that your 9 year old atheist has to stand when the class says the Pledge of Allegiance, take the school to court. Frivolous lawsuits are a staple in Prison. One joint I was in was sued over crosses on the end of the chapel pews. The Moorish Americans found them offensive, said the Christian religion had slaughtered their people down through the ages, or some such bullshit. Mind you , these guys were about as Moorish as I am Mexican, in other words, they were a bunch of clowns in Prison who hated white people and liked wearing Fez's like Shriners. Only without the parades or crazy clown cars. So the prison chaplain had the crosses removed.

A guy I knew pretty well back in the day, made his living off of lawsuits. He did slip and falls, had a lawyer and a doctor on call, he made some major ducats, and it was his main hustle for a good twenty years. Today, people will sue your ass in the blink of an eye, you may even win the lawsuit, but you'll most likely go broke doing it. Now back to the matter at hand. AF has a "look policy", I won't go into the whole thing here, but the gist is you need to look like one of the pretty douche nozzles that work there. However offensive I find AF to be to my senses, I understand why they want a certain look in their employees. When was the last time a morbidly obese woman with a flat chest worked at Hooters? Ever see a guy in a Yarmulke working at a Rib Shack? How about a white male sales clerk at Harold Penners? My point is, everyone isn't a good fit in every work place. People know that, the obese lady knows Hooters only hires skinny chicks with big breastizuz. The Jewish guy doesn't want to be delivering pulled pork to some nascar fan. And the Muslim girl knows that AF doesn't have a line of designer burkas. She knew when she walked through that door, she wasn't going to be hired, based on her look. I'm betting she was lawyered up before the ink was dry on her application.

Discrimination based on religion, race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, is wrong, plain and simple. That said, if you are required to dress a particular way, a burka for example, then you shouldn't be surprised when your look doesn't fit in with a retailers required look. If this young lady can sue AF, then whats next? Hasidic Jews can sue Ford Modelling Agency for not hiring male runway models with those funny hats and Shirley Temple curls they sport. Know why there arent any Hasidic Jews suing modelling agencies? Because it's stupid, that's why. Because any reasonable person understands that a business based on a certain demographic, on a particular look, isn't inclined to hire the polar opposite of that look. When it's all said and done, AF will probably settle out of court rather than engage in a lengthy court battle that will cost far more than a one time hush payment. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go apply for a job at Victoria's Secret, because it's perfectly reasonable for a 50 year old white man to pedal over priced panties to twenty something women.
