A|X posters are appalling
Malls, where teens hang out, have retailers whose window displays poison our children with 10-foot posters that are nothing but soft porn. In particular, Armani Exchange has recently displayed Valentine's posters with partially dressed "couples" holding one another. These couples consist of two men, a man and woman, and two women. The women are scantily dressed while it is questionable if the men have any clothes on at all. Two of these models are used a couple of times to represent bisexuals. If it could get any worse the text written is "SHARE THE LOVE."
Not every local mall has an Armani Exchange, but we need to take a stand since A|X is one of the fashion leaders and this is becoming a popular trend. You may view these on their website at www.armaniexchange.com WARNING! Pictures are offensive.
Moms, you may think this is a long shot, but remember, just last summer complaints to Calvin Klein concerning a foursome billboard was removed from New York City Soho District. We must let retailers and designers know that we do not approve, so imitators will not be encouraged and make this a norm.
TAKE ACTION
Please send Armani Exchange an email letter urging them to remove these posters from their store locations and website immediately.
Take it one step further by calling your local mall that has an A|X and request they have these disgusting posters removed.
Thank you for caring enough to get involved. If you find our efforts worth supporting, would you consider making a small tax-deductible donation to help us continue?
Sincerely,
Monica Cole, Director

Iran's Leader: Feb. 11 To Be 'Demise' of 'Capitalist System'
By Matt Cover - www.cnsnews.com
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Feb. 11 would mark the demise of "the liberal capitalist system," adding that its champion, America, was on the decline and that Iran and its Islamic Revolution were on the rise.
According to a Jan. 28 translation from BBC Monitoring Middle East, Ahmadinejad spoke on official Iranian television, saying that this year's "Ten Days of Dawn" celebration, marking the anniversary of the country's Islamic Revolution, would see the "demise" of the American system.
"I believe that 22 Bahman [ February 11 in the Persian calendar] this year marks the demise of the liberal capitalist system." Ahmadinejad said.
The controversial Iranian president explained that, 30 years ago, Iran was merely trying to consolidate its newly minted revolution. Today, however, the country was quickly moving to overtake what he claimed was a declining United States.
"Maybe in 1359-60 [1980-81] our presence was only an announcement of our existence and strength," he said. "It was to consolidate the revolution. Where have we got now? We have got to a point that the hegemony of arrogance [reference to the United States] has been undermined. Nations do not trust it anymore. Its principles are under question. Its efficiency is close to zero. Its power curve is dropping quickly."
Ahmadinejad claimed that Iran was an "inspiring" and "justice-seeking" country, which was just being "introduced to the world."
"On the other hand, the Iranian nation is being introduced around the world as an inspiring, idealistic, revolutionary, God-seeking, justice-seeking, pure and humane nation."
Ahmadinejad continued the narrative of America's impending doom in a speech Saturday, Jan. 30, claiming that the Iranian revolution was the final step in God's plan for the world.
"God created mankind to reach a point that it could have control over the world of creation and days and nights," Ahmadinejad said. "It is clear to all of us that the Islamic Revolution today is a giant stride toward the implementation of this great goal. The Islamic Revolution is in the direction, and of the same nature of, the great prophet's move. It is guided by God."
Ahmadinejad further said that the West, particularly the United States, had been the "biggest historical impediment" to the Islamic Revolution.
"The arrogant and hegemonic powers, which mankind experienced in the past 300 years and past 60 years in particular have been the biggest historical impediment in the face of fulfillment of this goal," he said, according to the BBC.
Ahmadinejad went on to declare that the "materialistic and hegemonic system" was dead and "slogans" about "freedom," "human rights," and "democracy" had misled the world.
"It is clear that the materialistic and hegemonic system has reached the end of the road, both theoretically and practically," he said. "Forty years ago when someone mentioned the name of America, many would drool. In the minds of many, America had a mythical and invincible power."
"Slogans of freedom, human rights, democracy, and the right to decide your own fate, were so attractive that [they] misled many," he continued. "Today, they have no thoughts or means other than the use of arms to prove themselves."
The fiery Iranian leader predicted the "end" of American "civilization."
"This means the end of a civilization, the end of a thought, and the end of a system," said Ahmadinejad.
