AP: “Abercrombie, known for its racy marketing campaigns aimed at teenagers, has pledged $10 million toward the construction of the emergency department at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus.
The Boston-based Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood on Tuesday urged the hospital to drop any plans to put Abercrombie’s name on the project, pointing to research that has shown a link between sexualized images of teens in the media and mental health problems in girls.”
