Hmm…now we now why all those Old Navy ads are so kooky. A tipster give us the lowdown on the allegedly scandal and nepotism filled world of the Old Navy in-house creative department writing, “Word from the tumultuous in-house marketing department at Old Navy is that the creative director, Mr. Landis Smithers (yes, that’s his name), has fired the departmental IT expert and subsequently replaced him with another IT “expert” (credentials not known by this tipster) who just so happens to be the domestic partner/boyfriend/significant other (it’s San Francisco, so we need to be p.c.) of one Mr. Smithers.

“This is only the latest in a series of shady, borderline illegal, certainly unethical, maneuverings of the man also known as The Snake, The Worm, Smithers (said with sneering disdain), Cueball, and other less flattering names.

“Prior to this nepotistic debacle, Smithers managed recently to fire four long-time employees by manipulating their spotless records of employment at the company, and submitting erroneous performance reviews without regard for any measure of truth or reality. ” Ouch.
