Abercrombie & Fitch wants clothes off Jersey Shore
This is beyond stupid  . . . .

NEW YORK | Wed Aug 17, 2011 12:06pm EDT
(Reuters) - Teen clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch Co has offered money to get away from what it sees as an undesirable Situation.

The preppy retailer has offered to pay cast members from MTV's popular show "Jersey Shore" to stop wearing its clothes, it said in a news release late Tuesday.

The company is "deeply concerned" that Michael "The Situation" Sorrentino "could cause significant damage" to the brand's "aspirational nature."

"Jersey Shore" features a cast of twenty-something Italian Americans partying, tanning and complaining about their jobs at a beach-front T-shirt stand.

The offer could be considered an abrupt about-face for a company that previously sold T-shirts emblazoned with the wording "The Fitchuation."



I think both they're images are pretty repulsive.

I've never watched "Jersey Shore" and even though I've purchased from Abercrombie, I refuse to use their bags with naked white men on them.
