The Situation Sues Abercrombie & Fitch: Does He Have a Case?

the design of abercrombei fitch cltoh is simple but classic, it;s my style, but a little expensive, but the price at http://www.abercrombiefitchuk.eu abercrombie uk , is much cheaper, but i don't know the quality is ok or not?

no

Hilarious!

Wait...didn't A+F ask Sorrentino to stop using there image because they didn't like being associated with him?

But anyways, first, GTL. Apparently this is a common meme amongst douchebags. Sorrentino didn't make it or own it, he just popularized it. He has no right to the image. No case here.

But, "The Fitchuation?" Back up a second. Forget that Jersey Shore characters are overwhelmingly douchbags who desperately need to just disappear. Forget that we naturally hate anything that might benefit them. And forget the underhanded view of copywrite law that finds technicalities to justify ripping off things. You see "The Fitchuation" on a shirt, you know EXACTLY what (And who) is being implied here. It is a Jersey Shore reference, and you don't need to have ever seen an episode of Jersey Shore to know that. It is a Jersey Shore t-shirt. Sorrentino has a case.

Wanna be upset at something? Be upset that consumers, and lets get real hear, most of the consumers who would buy this shirt think Jersey Shore is stupid, banal, and a blight on our culture but they also appreciate irony, support this kind of thing with there cash. Sorrentino has a right to his image. Be upset that people support that image, even if it is usually out of irony.

He just blew through all his money and wants more.

This douche is just trying to get even more money for being a talentless jerk off.

ok

why can't he just go with it?? f he would actually think about it, wouldn't this make him a tad bit "more popular"? or is he just broke or just maybe bored? why do some people have to make a big flippin del out of it?

The Situation needs to get over himself. Hes a moron and he just wants more money. And his erm...nickname isnt even copyrighted-if it was it would be a totally different story. (at least....i dont think its copyrighted. I dont keep up with them)

I think that even if he is a pud. they are using his likeness without breaking off an offer in gesture of kindness. so yeah.. he has a case.

His likeness? Are they posting pictures of him? He doesn't have a trademark for the word situation, although I'm sure he'd like one.

The context in which they are using it, is in reference to an image he created.
the main thing is, if you're gonna rip something off from someone, at least say thanks.

I don't know, the whole situation is ridiculous. Oh no, I said situation--now he's going to sue me!

Abercrombie & Fitch needs to get over itself

umm, it's obviously inspired by him. No he doesn't own the word situation, but they are clearly profiting off the Jersey Shore

That is a cool t-shirt! i want one!

Just a reality has been looking to keep his name in the public eye and hoping to cash in on anything that comes his way.

Next thing you know he'll be trying to trademark his pathetic nickname, and then I will be forced to hunt him down and snipe him.

No

He's a dirt bag and who cares about the Jersey Whores anyway?

who? why is this loser even still applicable?

wait...people are actually voting yes on this. well if that's so then I better start using urban dictionary for half the words 'I' invented!! Theifing buggers

suing* not using lol

Situation= (n.) Position, as regards the conditions and circumstances of the case.
I believe the situation is as follows and the circumstance of the case is this.... "I truly thought your name was the Sue-tuation?"

From what I understand he has some of those phrases trademarked and if that's true he has a case. The law is that a public figure does have a right to collect from people who intently use their image, name whatever for profit. It doesn't say much for our society that this guy is a public figure, but that's not his fault.

Why do networks give money to morons...??
How do reality shows continue to exist..??
What kind of desperate people watch this mindless crap..??

The Kardashians, Jersey Shore, somebody kill survivor already !!!...ummm can't think of any more because I don't know anymore of these mindless shows.

smart people watch House....Bones...Numbers...and other shows that involve thought. too bad numbers got cancelled.

Shows that can be cancelled ....ALL THE CSI's...pick one and stick with it morons.

here's some more ....

Chicago code was rated #1 as one of the best new shows and my wife told me it was going to be canceled for the 2012 season.


great new shows

"GRIMM" AND " UP ALL NIGHT"

..............haven't watched but want to see

'Suburgatory'

'Person of Interest'

'New Girl'

'American Horror Story'

he's just trying to get money

As much as I hate him he does seem to have a case . They ripped him off and should pay the entire cast they're due .

LOL What does he calls himself?

If they are using a brand that he established they should pay him a royalty. It's a shame they didn't license it from him in the first place rather than force him to have to sue.

He's looking for the attention that Jersey Shore didn't or couldn't give him

he's a speical situation... oh no im gonna get sued:(

doesn't he make like hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode i mean you have enough money

Hahahahahahahaaaaa...is he serious? Oh well...good luck to him.

I hope he win.
