Apparently Abercrombie and Fitch has had enough. They’ve offered an endorsement deal to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to not wear their clothing line in public.
“We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino’s association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand, and may be distressing to many of our fans.”

“We have therefore offered a substantial payment to Michael ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino and the producers of MTV’s Jersey Shore to have the character wear an alternate brand. We have also extended this offer to other members of the cast, and are urgently waiting a response,” the press release added.
Something about this feels suspect but stay classy, America.
Perhaps A&F can make a offer to the cast to just stop.
