    I just picked up this week's Orlando Weekly, which is our independent free paper. I was dumbfounded to see that cover story was about Von Dutch, more specifically the clothing company and the cluelessness of the wearers of the product.
    The front page has a hottie wearing a 'Von Who' t-shirt.
    It was a very well researched article with quotes from Keith Weesner, Robert Williams, our own Skratch and others.

    I'm just wondering if this was a syndicated article or an Orlando Weekly exclusive? I have my doubts that itc was.

    This is not to start the whole Von Dutch drama all over again, but now that the mass media has glommed on to the tale, I think you can expect VDO to be shutting their doors in the very near future.

    Afterall you don't see too many stores selling Brutus jeans these days.

    If it's the same as this one (originally posted by Luke Jivetalker), which it sounds like it might be, it's not an exclusive:

    It is however, a well researched and well written article, and a pretty good read.

    It's the same article. We always get our news a few weeks after everyone else does.
    We are a podunk town.

    I don't see any reason to delete it...maybe some of the people that didn't get to read it the first time would like to take a look at it.

    Afterall, it is a decent article.

    thanks for posting,

    'missed it the first time around.

    I'd read similar articles but,

    that one puts it all together in a clearer light.

    ..ridiculously serious..or vise verse.

    Yeah, this stuff just snowballs and gets way out of hand. Who knows what will be next?
