A&F: “The Boys of Nuremberg”

We always thought there was something vaguely fascist about Abercrombie & Fitch ads (all those glabrous blondes tend to make swarthy Mediterranean types like us a little nervous, you know)—but we didn't know how far the company was going in its quest for Total World Domination until we saw these posters which were spotted in San Francisco by the boys at Phototopia this weekend and which some folks are apparently mistaking for an actual campaign, despite a somewhat heavy handed appropriation of Nazi imagery on the part of the anonymous culture jammer(s) who produced them. After all, we don't really think A&F is evil, exactly—just sort of boring.

Update: "Abercrombie & Fitch Deny Involvement With Nazi-esque Outdoor Posters" (Ed. note: As if there was ever really a question?) (Adrants)

Update SFist interviews Chris, the creator of the posters, who expounds on the philosophy behind the images: "The mechanics of wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch shirt ... are identical to wearing a Nazi armband."
