Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino Responds To Abercrombie's Request Not To Wear Their Clothes (TWEETS)

When Abercrombie & Fitch asked the cast of the "Jersey Shore" to stop wearing their clothes they never thought they'd get backlash like this.

The whole, er, situation seems to have created a feud between the cast members and the clothing retailer, as the reality TV stars were perhaps unsurprisingly offended by the paid offer to cease wearing their clothing. In turn, both Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and DJ Pauly D have taken to Twitter with their gripes.

Sorrentino personally thanked "Situation Nation" for coming to his defense:

Thanks #SituationNation for always having my back and you are the best fans in the world! I love you guys!less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyMichael Sorrentino

Pauly D's response was a bit wittier, and perhaps more on the money, attacking Abercrombie's use of the popular "G.T.L." phrase on their some of their shirts:

Hmmm if They Don't Want Us To Wear Those Clothes Why Make GTL Shirts

In addition to the G.T.L. shirt, the retailer may or may not have created a humorous "The Fitchuation" tee-shirt mocking the reality star -- the shirt, which we caught yesterday on a fake "Abercrombie-Fitch" website, has since been removed from the website.

The company, however, maintains that the whole thing was meant "in good fun," and that it was mainly a PR stunt. According to Reuters, the whole idea came about after a joke was made about the "The Situation" wearing an Abercrombie shirt on the show.

Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries lightheartedly addressed the campaign on the company's earnings call. "We're having a lot of fun with it," he said according to Reuters.

Oh, so are we.

Abercrombie & Fitch has a GAY image. They should start selling STRAIGHT jackets.

I didn't know what "G.T.L." stood for -- maybe it was meatheadEsoterica for "Get Ta Life." This is what Urban Dictionary turned in:
"Stands for 'Gym, Tan, Laundry.' Must be done everyday to achieve maximum potential."

A&F doesn't have an image anymore worth protecting.  It's what closeted gay guys with really bad taste wear, frankly.

Tiffany & Company, however, has a horrendous Newt problem.  :)

yuck ! I'm a closeted homosexual ?? With bad taste ?? Come to think of it - what normal person would call sweats "hoodies" ?

Consider me "cured" - I am going to send my stuff back to Abercrombie if this "situation" continues....

I remember when A&F had a 2-story joint on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills, when it was a nice sporting store, like Eddie Bauer.  

That was before they started with the black-and-white-Versace-porn to sell clothes that looked like they were already used.

Who honestly cares? Why are some articles dedicated to these no talent Jersey Shore idiots. What are they famous for exactly? Why are they paid a substantial amount of money again?...............I don't know either.

Kind of obvious really; they create buzz, people read the poop, and then spend time putting them down and writing hateful jealous comments about them.

well, the entire public knows theyre terrible...and i hope you don't think me or anyone would be jealous of someone as degrading as" the situation"...theres a lot of talented people out there who shine 1000 times brighter than this "star"...and those are the ones that most people and i look up to....soo bye...no hate, no fighting...its simply the truth

We should donate a lot of A&F clothing to seniors in Florida. If they start wearing it, the kids will run screaming from the retailer!!!

Maybe get some seniors to to make Youtube videos modeling the stuff.... man it would be a hoot!!!

Do you all really believe what they say/do on TV isn't scripted? It gets ratings, like it or not. So they will continue with their "nonsense" as long as it sells. They aren't representing Italians, they are representing a young generation that comes to the Jersey Shore in the summers and act just like that. I have lived at the Jersey Shore my whole life and believe it or not, that is how the "visitors" act. If you don't like them, don't watch them. End of story.

How much of A&F clothing are made in Asian sweat shops is a better question

"The Snitchuation" is not someone who is going to remain in the spotlight for long, as he has no star-appealing qualities. His great attempt at humor during the roast of Donald Trump was about as lame as Kate Gosselin on Dancing With The Stars. They are way out of their league.

[gerbersmail]

I agree! But you have to admit that was pretty funny watching him "bomb" on the Comedy Central Roast for Trump! The longer he went on the worse he got. And that stupid half smile half smirk on his pie hole was priceless! He fell apart like a cheap napkin!

The only situation he's in is having the problem of being in the posession of a million dollar body and a five dollar head..thank God for PBS...

[gerbersmail]

I disagee with you on two levels. I don't think I would call that a "million dollar body" and as for his five dollar head you are being way to generous. Two dollars tops! But I like your analogy.
