AF to Mike "You're too old for our brand."

Is this article real? Abercrombie and Fitch have paid Mike The Situation to stop wearing their clothing as it could "damage their image?" Which image is that? The teen molestation image? Basically what A&F doesn't want is a 30 year old man wearing their products that are advertised in an overly sexual way because these products are designed to be worn by teens.

I would think that A&F would love to have The Sitch all over their products. They both love Abs.
This is a typical ad for A&F. 
This is a typical picture of Mike. 
See, you can't even read his shirt. What is A&F so worried about? 

However, Mike isn't the only Jersey Shore cast member known to possibly damage a product's reputation. This reminds me of the another story written about Snooki and her love for "high fashion designers." 
"Allegedly, the anxious folks at these various luxury houses [i.e. Gucci and the like] are all aggressively gifting our gal Snookums with free bags. No surprise, right? But here’s the shocker: They are not sending her their own bags. They are sending her each other’s bags!Competitors‘ bags!" (pulled from this article.)
