Fraters Libertas

Here, There, and Everywhere

Fraters readers PB checks in to report that the junk being pushed by the French Connection is already all over the streets of the U.K.

Just recently returned from a trip to England. The fcuk logo is everywhere. It's England's answer to America's Nike swoosh. On a busy street, it's rare to go one whole block without seeing at least one shirt with those 4 letters. French Connection is a ubiquitous store over there, similar to The Gap over here. It makes some sort of sense that a store in England called French Connection would call a certain part of their product line "French Connection UK". Still, every time I see that 4-letter logo, I feel like we are one step closer to somewhere less than where we are now.

Well put PB. I fear that the degradation of our culture's standards shows no signs of abating.
