Dov Charney Declares "Teenagers Do It Better" On New T-Shirt

American Apparel has teamed up with Electric Youth Magateen, which celebrates "the magnificent vitality, energy and power of young male adulthood." The product of their collaboration: a t-shirt that reads "Teenagers Do It Better," which comes with this souvenir JPEG of a scantily clad teen in undies and a cut-off version of the conversation tee. (Just in time for mandatory sex ed classes in NYC!) HuffPo calls this Dov Charney's "first foray into sartorial pedophilia, creating a shirt that glorifies teens engaging in sex."

You can get the shirt by ordering the mag's 124-page Spring/Summer issue, which features "sexy pics of boys ages 16 to 21" and 18 "sexy stickers"! You can also buy it online at American Apparel's store for $24, but you might look a little bit more than creepy walking around in it if you aren't in high school.

Gothamist is a bunch of hypocrites. I see more ads for AA on this site than anywhere.

If better means cheaper, then maybe he is right.
Its amazing what you can get with some cheap, warm beer (aside from prison time).

Gotta give Charney credit. He's a master at the free publicity game. His ad is being displayed everywhere today, at no charge.

"first foray into sartorial pedophilia, creating a shirt that glorifies teens engaging in sex."

Except that pedophilia is by definition a sexual interest in prepubescent children, so it has nothing to do with "teens engaging in sex."

ANGRYGOD11

I must disagree. An adult interested in fourteen year olds is a pedophile.

HymietownHero

No, technically he or she is an ephebophile.

CityFace

Teenagers do it louder, maybe, but not better.

FU Boy

"the magnificent vitality, energy and power of young male adulthood."

And that picture is supposed to go with this statement how? That kid's about as masculine as Jamie Lee Curtis.

HymietownHero

So, fairly masculine, overall, is what you're saying.

Did Charney manage to not rape anyone while announcing this?

pendejito

Not to mention the emmotional teenage drama that follows soon thereafter.
"Was I good?" "Will he call me?"

Next!

Rocknrope

If by "better" he means "quickly, leaving the partner dissatisfied and frustrated" then he's got a point.

J_Temperance

The only thing teenagers do better is getting caught doing stupid shit, like smoking pot in the parking lot of a post office and getting charged with a federal offense.

FU Boy

Or getting stupid drunk and pissing on 11-year-olds.

is this autobiographical, by chance?

Tens of thousands of underage kids are sex trafficked every year at the Superbowl. The biggest bust-up of a global child porn sharing website just took place this month. Arranged marriages of children under 18, as well as the prostitution of underage boys and girls still plague Afghanistan, Brazil and other developing countries. SWEET. Let's celebrate it all for just $24 at American Apparel!
