Dov Charney: Probably Not The Next "Light On The Hill" Recipient

American Apparel stores may be sprouting up faster than you can say "lamé spandex tank thong," but turns out that the company might not be doing so well. A recent profile in the Wall Street Journal revealed numerous financial troubles, including inflated profits, decreased stocks ... and, of course, multiple sexual-harassment suits.

The most interesting part of any American Apparel article is always its CEO, Tufts alum Dov Charney, who walks around in his underwear, photographs models in his basement, and gives them vibrators as gifts. Hey, think he ran the Naked Quad Run when he was here?

actually i believe the senate considered giving him the Light on the Hill Award this year, but they couldn't because he technically dropped out (the same reason it wasn't given to Jessica Biel) Posted 04/18/2008 12:29 PMReply

@ The Misanthropist: Damn.

I would totes support him as a commencement speaker, though. He'd probably do it in his briefs, too. Posted 04/18/2008 12:32 PMReply
