Paraphrase:

Our society has always praised the beautiful arbitrarily over those considered less beautiful. This fact is Dov Charney's main selling point. His company of attractive employees keep him wealthy, his business popular and his investors interested. A Canadian, Dov Charney has acheived the American dream in a very American fashion: by pushing the envelope and being unapologetic about his actions.

"Studies have long shown that lookers are rewarded (in cash and other compensation) for their pretty faces as much as their proficiency in any industry.  And as long as we prefer to do business with the beautiful, guys like Dov Charney are going to stay afloat. Because it won’t be hard to sell new investors on a company that simply writhes with hotties. Even though he’s a Canadian, the Declaration’s unalienable rights, “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” have not been lost on Dov Charney. With every tight t-shirt, skimpy thong, and provocative ad, he’s delivering on that promise. It’s the American Way."

  1. Looks good, but is there an author that you are quoting? Maybe you could put how you're quoting it from a certain article?
