You're an ultra left-wing radical college student who excels at purchasing snarky t-shirts and the latest clearance items at Urban Outfitters. Guess what? You are the total opposite of the guy who runs the thriving U.O. empire. He's a picture perfect example of The Man. If you find this shocking -- what world are you living in?

Richard Hayne, President of Urban Outfitters, is like the anti-Dov Charney. Rumor has it that he's an uber-conservative square who donates money to people like George Bush -- he definitely donated to homophobic former senator Rick Santorum. Apparently, some people around the blogoshpere think that he's hiding his image to keep from ruing the company.

We hate to break it to them, but we think the reason people shop at UO is the clothes. Whoever runs the thing, they still sell fashionable/controversial/snarky junk. So he used to be a hippie when he founded the company back in 1970. So what?
