agree - i like j crew - no recognizable logo at all. just a quiet statement of who they are and what they represent.

i agree with you for the most part, but... it's not just a word: the word reflects the consciousness behind it and in this specific case, the gentleman (here) had a history of pretty nasty stuff

When someone thinks it's OK to call me "Boy", there is nothing good to say about the situation.
