American Apparel, Brooklyn’s No. 1 source for hurricane supplies, has issued one of the first incidences of capitalizing on this storm which, in case you forgot, has killed 35 people in the U.S. and destroyed a whole neighborhood in Queens. But hey, the cardigan economy is hurting too. What do we make of this, brokesters?

The subject line of the email, sent last night at 11:30pm, was:

☁ ☂ ϟ Hurricane Sandy Sale! ϟ ☂ ☁ 20% Off Everything!

Thanks to Sarah Herbst for the tip!

Because why donate clothes to people who’ve been pushed out of their homes when you can sell them instead…?

A lot of other companies were doing this (Steven Alan, for instance). Stupid, yes, but lets not make American Apparel the scapegoat.
