Tacky Abercrombie to pay Tackier 'Jersey Shore' cast to stop wearing its clothes

' Jersey Shore' and Abercrombie & Fitch may be up to an interesting, yet not unknown, form of extortion....PUBLICITY!
Abercrombie & Fitch were once the names associated with high style and fine outdoor outfitting. It was one of the finest places to go for sport's clothing, fine guns and fishing equipment.

How it has fallen into a low commonness of torn jeans and high decibel mall stores that are like a nightmare inside a ghetto-blaster.

“We are deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino's association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image.
