“You want to pay me to NOT wear your clothes!?” - Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 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 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.

I love Starbucks even more now! Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has decided that he's not going to give political donations to anyone, and he's asking others to follow his lead.
