Having lived in Japan, Hong Kong, and traveling over a large part of Europe and a few other places, it constantly amazes me that America is so tight assed and prudish that nudity bothers ANYONE. Go to Europe and you'll see nudity on TV and in commercials and casual nudity in many places. They simply don't concern themselves with it. But America has this obsession with the concept that nudity is 'dirty' and will cause the complete downfall of modern civilization. I mean, man, get over it.
The store no doubt wanted to cause controversy. Abercrombie and Fitch takes great pride in causing controversy with their advertising. I recall a few years ago they had their whole catalog banned in many places because it featured semi nude and scantily clad teenage looking models. May not be in the best of taste to do it on purpose, but it got the name of the store out there and got people to pay attention.
