Why he might be annoying:

    He destroyed ancient California redwoods forests so that he could profit.
    He makes huge donations to political candidates to gain corporate influence in government.
    The GAP Foundation donated $7½ million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, but ignores requests to pay sweatshop workers fair wages (tax write off!).
    He won a Humanitarian Award (what a lopsided world!).
    He reincorporated his company in the state of Delaware, so that he can benefit from many tax loopholes.
    He was a Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity brother.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At the University of California at Berkeley, he was an all-American swimmer and star water polo player.
    With GAP, Old Navy and Banana Republic, his stores cover a wide range of demographies.
    Urban legend:
    The GAP is an acronym that means 'Gay and Proud.' The truth is that the name pays homage to 'the generation gap' of the late '60s.
