D-Day For Dov Charney

We can't help but wonder whether, in the inevitable tell all bio, today will be remembered as the beginning of the end for Dov Charney, the creepy and shameless overlord of the thriving American Apparel empire. For today is the beginning of his very first sexual harassment trial.

In a deposition, Charney "absolutely" admits to calling women "sluts" and the female genitalia c-word, because, you know, it's "endearing." "There is no evidence to say that you can't walk around in your underwear all day anywhere in the United States of America," he testified.

Hmmm... we're no legal experts or anything, but we would classify this strategy as being a) unsurprising and b) unbefreakinglievable. The big question is: will it work? Is he gonna ride unapologetic bravado right out of the courtroom? We figure he'll try -- it's a civil trial, so if he loses, it'll only be cash out of his pockets (should he actually be wearing pants). But even if he wins the actual trial, if enough dirt comes out... (Guess that's why two other suits have been settled out of court.)

Well, what do y'all think?
