US clothing brand Abercrombie and Fitch has offered to pay the rowdy, hard-partying cast of MTV reality show The Jersey Shore not to wear its clothes.
The company said their association with the clothing was "contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand".
It singled out Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, saying he could cause "significant damage to our image".
The show portrays the loud, hedonistic, mostly Italian-American cast carousing in the US state of New Jersey.
The programme's fourth season, which followed the cast to Italy, premiered this month on MTV.
"We are deeply concerned that Mr Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image," the company said in a statement.
"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."

Wonder if they would pay me not to wear their stuff.

I've seen trailers for that show Keld. Trust me... ugliness is only the tip of the iceberg with those bell-ends.
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Ugly alone don't cut it. You can be as ugly as a pig's butt and they won't care. They care about "Tee Vee Ugly".keld feldspar wrote:Wonder if they would pay me not to wear their stuff.

Oh boo-hoo-hoo.
How sad for Abercrombie and Fitch.
Maybe they should have thought of that before they brought out a line of t-shirts with a saying from one of the Jersey wankers on it.
GTL = Gym Tan Laundry. This was popularised by Pauly D from Jersey Shore.
