Christ, first we had Perez Hilton desperately latching himself to the gay marriage issue and now the uber-slimy American Apparel doing the same...or at least I assume that's what that insipid and vague t-shirt is attempting to do. Nothing like insincerely co-opting a cause to wring a few bucks out of some dumb hipsters, is there?

I really do hope Whitney's album is as good as that writer says. The first single is a snooze. I'd love to see her make a glorious comeback.
