Abercrombie & Fitch Offers to Pay 'Jersey Shore's' 'The Situation' to Stop Wearing Their Clothes

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...wearing-their/

A clothing company is offering money to Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and his fellow "Jersey Shore" cast members -- so they'll stop wearing the brand on the show.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. says in a news release posted Tuesday that it's concerned that having Sorrentino seen in its clothing could cause "significant damage" to the company's image.

Abercrombie says a connection to The Situation goes against the "aspirational nature" of its brand and may be "distressing" to customers. The Ohio-based retailer says it has offered a "substantial payment" to Sorrentino and producers of the MTV show so he'll wear something else.

The company says it also is making the offer to others in the hard-partying cast.

An MTV spokeswoman did not immediately return messages for comment on Wednesday.

I had no idea legal adults wore clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch in 2011.

I have a cousin who's approximately 25. He used to mock my brother for wearing Abercrombie, Hollister, etc. He came home over Christmas break two years ago all decked out in Abercrombie, and got mad when we "mocked" him for wearing it.

If it's something nice and classic, that's one thing, but the people who are well into their 30s that wear the logo-plastered clothing of ANY brand have always bothered me.. It's like they haven't bothered to grow up any past high school. Just my opinion, though.

Oh, Texas...

With a six-pack of beer in hand and dog at his side, a shirtless Fort Worth man operating a forklift took police on a chase of epic low-speed proportions that ended with a tasing.

The man, identified as 43-year-old Tim Raines, faces various charges after stealing a forklift in order to go on a beer run. He eventually lead Fort Worth police on a chase on various parts of Interstate 30 and other side streets on Sunday evening.

"I took the tractor and I drove the tractor to a beer store," Raines said in a jailhouse interview following his arrest. "I picked up a six-pack. I had my dog with me on top of the lift."

Raines' forklift antics were caught on tape by University of Texas at Arlington student Nathan Lowery, who saw the alleged drunken driver and heavy machine thief driving erratically.

Don't they just graduate to the Affliction Christian Audigier stuff?

Umm that could totally be Idaho, I have seen many a person who cannot legally drive due to DUI ride a lawn mower around. There used to be this bar, The Slurp 'N Burp, where more than once a dude would roll in on a riding lawn mower, from age 21 on up to 80s or 90s for sure. Even better, when he made a friend and she rode home with him. The karaoke serenades of "She thinks my tractor's sexy" had real meaning.
