Could American Apparel have a better location for their advertising than the corner of Allen and Houston? Their ads in the location has made some members of the community upset and may have caused The Splasher to return from hibernation. And they have the echo-chamber that is the NY blog community talking about their "racy" ads all the time. Indeed, any publicity is good publicity.
They've since replaced the defaced leggings billboard with a new ad featuring a woman and a dog. Since it's getting cold out, they've outfitted the model with a thong-top (thongotard?) over leggings.
Up next for American Apparel for the billboard: Woman, with cat suggestively in her crotch while wearing a nearly see through thongotard. Make it so, Dov Charney!
What do you think the next ad should be at that location. Mock it up and send it to us - photos@gothamist.com - and we'll publish the best ones next week!

"And they have the echo-chamber that is the NY blog community talking about their "racy" ads all the time."
Indeed.
Mmmmmmmm..........thongotard.
Actually, for their next ad maybe American Apparel can just use the chick with the popping asymetrical nipples from the Gothamist t-shirt ads we've all seen a thousand times here.
I'm sure the Sugar Cafe is also enjoying all the free ad space...
I like pussy(cats)
Who doesn't?
That said: Why should advertising be the avant-garde of the freeing of the erotic unconscious?
Who gives a shit about "American Apparel" anyway?
Looks like something my avatar would certainly want to bongo.
Didn't AllAn Houston play for the Knicks?
I don't care. And this is not why women get raped, by the way (in response to the ridiculous graffiti on the last ad). Women and men can be sexy. There is nothing wrong with it. Perhaps we can move on.
p.s. And I'm a huge feminist. Still, there is nothing wrong with being sexy. Does anyone, aside from the writers of Gothamist, care about these ads? When I read these ridiculous posts, I feel like a I am watching Fox News.
those are tights, not leggings. They have feet.
Helvetica, dude, helvetica.
Sexy and sleazy are too different things in my opinion.
