The Abercrombie/Situation Battle Rages On!

And so the war escalates!

In light of Abercrombie & Fitch issuing a press release last month claiming that they had offered The Situation a 'substantial' amount of money to stop wearing their clothes, the Jersey Shore star has not only claimed that he hasn't seen any offer, but has now had his lawyers send the company a cease-and-desist letter for what he claims to be an infringement on his legal copyright by printing several of his slogans - including The Fitchuation and GTL Fitch - on their t-shirts!

According to the letter:

"We doubt that you could provide a valid reason why you used these specific designs, except to create a (false) association with our client's goodwill."

Hey! We can't help but agree!

Seems pretty tasteless to condemn his antics to the extent that they don't want him to wear their clothes, and then go ahead and cash in on his popularity by ripping off his slogans!

We can't see how they intend to argue their way around this one!

Hustler Wants The $ituation To Hawk Their Clothing Line

Porno head honcho Larry Flynt knows a good situation when he sees one and that's exactly why he's offering Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino to be Hustler's clotheshorse.

Like Abercrombie & Fitch, the XXX company made their offer via press release saying they'd "pay Mr. Sorrentino to wear their clothing so that he can stay well dressed."

So let us get this straight. First A&F offers him ca$$$h to avoid their clothes like the plague and now Hustler says they'll pay The Situation to do the exact opposite!?

What is this the Twilight Zone?

MTV Responds To A&F's Anti-Sitch Campaign

MTV is calling out Abercrombie & Fitch for publicly offering The Situation money to not wear their clothes.

A rep for the network said:

"It's a clever PR stunt and we'd love to work with them on other ways they can leverage Jersey Shore to reach the largest youth audience on television."

We're not so sure we'd call it a "clever" move when they previously sold "The Fitchuation" t-shirts and are still selling "GTL" tees.

To further prove our point, A&F's stock dropped nearly 10% on Wednesday. Yeah buddy!

What do U think? Is Abercrombie being hypocritical???

Abercrombie & Fitch To The Sitch: We'll Pay You To Not Wear Our Clothes!

LOLz!!!

The suits at Abercrombie & Fitch really don't want The Situation to be seen in their clothes and they're willing to pay him not to!

Think we're kidding?

Here's the official statement released by A&F:

"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 The 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."

We find it hard to believe Mike is damaging Abercrombie's image when they were the ones who tried to profit off his name by selling "The Fitchuation" t-shirts two years ago.

BUT if they're going to pay him, we say take the money!
