PhotoShop challenge -- PhotoShop A&F clothing onto the most uncool people on the planet

There is a film maker who is asking people to buy Abercrombie and Fitch clothing at thrift stores and give them to the homeless. Many have argued and I agree that this is yet another way to make homeless people into pawns.

I think something better, cheaper, faster and more viral would be to Photoshop A&F clothing onto the most truly uncool people on planet Earth such as:

- Dick Cheney
- Kim Jong Un
- Ariel Castro
- Herbert the Pervert

Anyone up for it?

some of these uncool people have already been photoshopped, so it shouldn't take a lot of effort to 'shop it again. For example, the polo shirt worn by WhistleAss below is just begging for the A&F treatment.

The CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch said that he doesn't want fat/uncool people wearing their brand (Women's trousers don't go above size 10 and there's no Large/XXL in the women's department, only the men's department).

......PS, edit to add comment:

I don't have any objection to giving homeless people new clothes. It's not like
many of them have their own washers and dryers. Anything clean and new
is always welcome. But maybe there's more purchasing power or value-benefit
in mocking A + F online, and then taking what you might have over-spent
on their clothes, and then passing it on, directly. Next time you pass someone
really down and out, don't be so stingy.

and give it the homeless. I have nothing against giving homeless people things. My objection is to the idea that they are "uncool." And yes, I think doing something online directly is a faster way to give their CEO quotes the answer they deserve.
