- Feel free to do so, or at least list your sources for these allegations. --fvw 05:41, 2004 Oct 11 (UTC)
- Placed some information up regarding that. A little concerned with sounding biased by using the phrase "sweatshop workers" but I think that it fits the definition pretty well. Feel free to remove it if need be. -Wolfrider

G.A.P.
i heard that GAP stands for Gay Apparel Something. I forget what the last word was. Is there any truth to this? -Lethe | Talk
You'll find the info for this on the same websites that explain that KISS means "Knights in Satan's Service" and that Procter & Gamble are owned by the Church of Satan. --ProhibitOnions 14:24, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
Old Navy
The GAP should shut down Old Navy and fire the people who comes up with the commercials.
Unsustainable Logging?
There is a common meme on the internet and amongst some environmental activists that the Fisher family, which is documented to own hundreds of thousands of acres of Mendicino County, has engaged in unsustainable logging--clearcutting--of old growth redwood forests. It's very difficult to find sources for these allegations and, while I don't doubt them, I wonder if anyone has authoritative sources. If so, the article would benefit from some discussion of this practice (or at least the Fisher family articles may). -Jonathan Feinberg
Why "The" Gap?
Sure, the company was originally known as The Gap, but when it introduced its current corporate image in (I think) 1990, it began referring to itself as Gap, not The Gap. While many or most people in the US probably still call it The Gap out of habit, it's not what the company calls itself. I would suggest we move the page. --ProhibitOnions 14:24, 2005 May 31 (UTC)
