HUF在近期推出了其2011夏季新品宣传Video，不同于以往的音乐背景，此次Video选用了原任美国副总统的Spiro Agnew

于1969年10月在密西西比地区针对当时国内如火如荼的青年反越战示威游行运动而发表的一次演讲音频，演讲主题内容则是

批评青年人的不理智行为和思考方式，这也是Spiro Agnew在为当时的尼克松政府的越战政策在辩护，以不顾主流民意为代价.

作为一个倡导青年文化的streetwear品牌，选用此音频背景，HUF品牌估计是想表达自己对此观念的不屑

Spiro Agnew

Spiro Agnew演讲原稿：

“Sometimes it appears that we’re reaching a period when our senses and our minds will no longer respond to moderate stimulation. We seem to be aproaching an age of the gross, persuasion through speeches and books is too often discarded for disruptive demonstrations aimed at bludgeoning the unconvinced into action. The young–and by this I don’t mean by any stretch of the imagination all the young, but I’m talking about those who claim to speak for the young–at the zenith of physical power and sensitivity, overwhelm themselves with drugs and artificial stimulants. Subtlety is lost, and fine distinctions based on acute reasoning are carelessly ignored in a headlong jump to a predetermined conclusion. Life is visceral rather than intellectual. And the most visceral practitioners of life are those who characterize themselves as intellectuals. Truth is to them revealed rather than logically proved. And the principal infatuations of today revolve around the social sciences, those subjects which can accommodate any opinion, and about which the most reckless conjecture cannot be discredited. Education is being redefined at the demand of the uneducated to suit the ideas of the uneducated. The student now goes to college to proclaim, rather than to learn. The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated, and a contemporary antagonism known as ‘The Generation Gap.’ A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete core of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.”
