Recognizing Protozombies

The guy on the left is the President of Abercrombie & Fitch, Mike Jeffries. The guy on the right is his cousin.

While we never want to discriminate on looks, the fact is that appearance is probably the easiest way to identify the protozombie once he or she is well on the way to viral amplification. We can’t wait until he starts to look like cuz. So what do you need to watch for?


I’d say Prez looks pretty damn suspicious. Notice his pale coloring and bleached, swollen lips. Notice the hair, the general lack of grooming. He can’t quite handle the gel and comb anymore. The left and right eyes have a slightly confused expression. They don’t match, either, probably because pathways in his brain are scrambled.


Prez set off an internet backlash when he said that “his company markets solely to people they deem ‘attractive.’ His stores do not carry clothes in XL or XXL sizes and women’s pants don’t go above size 10. 

Alarm bells should have gone off when Jeffries said, “In every school there were the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes] and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

How smart is that? How much of the market did he decide to throw away? While it’s hard to guess what might lead to such an eccentric business decision, we cannot discount the possibility that Jeffries is going over. We probably don’t want to know what he had for dinner last night.
