The brooks brothers WASP catalog

"What do you mean, there's a black man running for president? Of which country?"

Art director: "So, according to company guidelines, you can stand next to the white guy, you just can't touch him. You can only touch the black guy. In fact, it's best if you touch him, because we don't want anyone thinking there's any hanky-panky going on between you and the white guy. In fact, we should get a wedding band for that black guy. And make sure it's very visible. OK, great. Everyone smile!"

Yeah, jezebel made a classic with the Brooks Brothers catalog. The International Male one, not so much - while funny, the pictures are just too difficult to look at.

I refuse to believe this is the catalog for spring 2008.

This catalog reminds me of that retrospective GQ did of themselves last year, where most of the article talked about the flamboyant art director and the bearded (pun intended?) model. Lots of muscular dudes in questionable, semi-revealing clothing. And jumpsuits.
