The Abercrombie Situation
-
17-08-2011 02:22PM#1Well, I thought it was funny: Abercrombie & Fitch are so annoyed at the Jersey Shore characters wearing their clothes that they're offering to pay them not to wear A&F clothes. They don't care who knows, either - they put out a press release about their offer to "The Situation":
I've been at UCD in Dublin 4 for four years now, and I think there are quite a few local students who could use some of A&F's money too ... now to find someone in PR for Ugg Boots."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."
You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Brilliant!
You see what the chavs did to Burberry in all fairness - I don't think the brand has ever recovered!!!
Same is happening to Louis Vuitton and Gucci now! But in fairness many r just wearing fakes!
So frustrating I paid 500 euro for a bag and two days later I pass a scumbag with that same bag grrr...
What A&F are trying to do is useless, if its not on TV its on the streets of everytown around the world you will see scumbags and the like with well known brands. They just over advertised themselves, the more well known the brand is the harder it is to controll who wears it and who replicates it...0 -

I'd say it must be frustrating to pay that much for a bag full stop!
How is it so much better than the fake one that looks the exact same? (except for the fact that the LV symbol on Louis Vuitton bags crosses the stitching on the fake ones. Yes I know that
)
I'm with the "scumbag" on this one.0 -

When you pay that much its not just the bag you are buying, its the experience and the 'status' you are getting. Some people buy a new bag every month for 30 quid, I choose to buy one or two a year. A fake wouldn't last that long as quality tends to be sh@t.0 -
