The Men's 2011 American Apparel Ad Keeps it Clean This Time

As I check out the new Men's 2011 American Apparel Ad, my eyes seem to be looking for something. Looking at the nine individual images shown in the print ad, my eyes do not fool me. Surprisingly, there is nothing scandalous about this new campaign.

With a slew of other marketing campaigns, we all know American Apparel for its sexual marketing tactics. Is it because there are no females in the ads to exploit their private parts? Regardless, it looks like the new Mens 2011 American Apparel Ad is keeping it clean -- this time.
