The Emperor's (Kids') New Clothes?

When you go to Abercrombie & Fitch and then click to enter their site, you'll see either a very young man with no shirt, or a very young woman wearing no shirt (or anything else). There are sketches of clothing to the right of either model. I guess this is an advertising campaign that goes something like this: "Hey, let's use nudity to sell clothes to kids!"

But wait. There's more. We're not just talking about nudity. They'll sell your kids their Sex Ed Quarterly (click on A&F Quarterly for a preview photo).

Do you really want Abercrombie & Fitch to be the ones to teach your kids about sex?

This makes me really uncomforable. And (taking one shot here) not to be too rude or anything, but--just where they planning to put their company logo?
