This is horrid. If Gap Inc. wants to make a change, then maybe they can start by addressing their lack of customer service and the poor store standards. Oh, and they might consider not making unstylish/ill-fitting/not-on-trend merchandise out of Nylon/Polyester/Acrylic blends and then overcharging for said pieces only to then offer random discounts for 15%-40% off. Have you seen the "vagina sweater tunic?" It's in the online sale section.
Whatever their intent, regardless of how good or bad the new logo is, they've opened themselves up to a lot of negative criticism. And considering what their holiday assortment looks like, investors should be worried.
Also, Banana Republic in Papyrus coming up next...
@pssshwhatever: Yes, I get that aspect but they seem to "prefer" disgusting beverages during their off-hours, non-hazing, more casual, regular periods of inebriation. Eh, I'm not even going to try to work it out in my head anymore. I find the entire bro culture to be vile.
Re: Do One Thing Really Well... If you can, do that one thing ahead of time and then just say you did it while they were out. Saving completed projects to unleash at a later time comes in handy.
My favorite thing to do was to fax blank pages to my manager's voicemail while he was at lunch. It's good for any coworker you dislike. The joy from hearing them bitch and moan while listening through twenty messages of machines screeching is indescribable.
Just be careful they're not having their calls forwarded or that they're hooked up to eFax-something with caller ID. If that's the case, it's good to have a friend in another office do it for you.
@Graywing: I know how you feel. Whenever I'm watching porn, it's always like, "Look at how GAY I am! Look at all the cock I can handle! Shove it in my face!"
@Spirit Fingers: I never even had the chance to truly admire him in my youth because teh gay in me couldn't get past those awful diagonal stripes in the girls' apartment so I never watched. But I liked him when he was on Hollywood Squares!
@sandmanfvrreturns: Umm... I don't think I'm missing much of anything. Regurgitating the plot points won't make me any less critical. First off, the "He's not my dad!" story arc is pretty weak in and of itself. We didn't even have to deal with that this week. Let's just disregard that ever happening and back up to when Erica first saw Alan Tudyk's face and Tyler started getting all V-happy with Lisa. That would be the best time to put a stop to all his idiotic behavior. Lock him in the basement. Get estranged dad involved. It's very un-mom-like to just wring your hands and say, "Okay, Honey. You have a good time on that space ship that doesn't even have the courtesy to go float over the East River instead of Midtown!" Whatever Tyler decided to do from that point (shown a skinless V) on could have been more plausible. I'm glad you really like the show as is. Good for you. The rest of us feel disappointed and kind of cheated out of a potentially interesting show.
@MannyMayor: I guess the undercover Vs steer clear of the new NSA security scanners at airports (not that there's a good chance they'd get caught unless they were carrying a water bottle or cigarette lighter).
