EPISODE 176 - Abersnobby & Bitch

I feel compelled to explain the parody logo pictured at left. It doesn't come up until the end of the show, but I'll explain it now. Abercrombie & Fitch, the clothing company fond of photographing hairless young men with their pants unbuttoned is either pulling off an ingenious PR stunt or are genuinely concerned about their brand's image. Here's the deal, we've all heard of MTV's JERSEY SHORE right? Well, it turns out "The Situation," one of the show's most popular characters — question mark — has been seen frequently sporting their form-fitting fabrics. And given that he's a douche-bag of indescribable preparations, it's only natural that Abercrombie wants to distance themselves from him. They're willing to pay him and his cast mates lots-o-money to NOT wear their clothing. A reverse endorsement deal if you will. This raises a few questions... is A&F being too pretentious? Is this just the risk you run when you're a clothing company? Are they justified in their concerns? It's our question to you this week. You can vote on the poll and/or send us your thoughts via E-Mail. We'd love to have 'em.Before that though we have a few other stories of interest. At first, we ponder the Apple situation. Unless you live on another planet, you've probably heard by now that Steve Jobs has stepped down as CEO of his company. The Intertubes are all a flutter with the news. And we are too, for a few minutes.Then it's onto GHOSTBUSTERS news. The day we've all been dreading has arrived. Dan Aykroyd has confirmed the film will begin production next spring. He also said it's moving ahead with or without Bill Murray. It's no secret Murray hasn't exactly been ecstatic about the project. He even said the script has been sitting on his desk for months and that he'd read it, eventually. We'll tell you about a few plot elements and casting possibilities. But to be honest, we're already feeling a lot less excited about it that Bill Murray.Then we move along to "It's The Law." It's been awhile since we did this segment and it's back with a vengeance! The state-of-choice this time has so many moronic-mandates we have to break it up into 2-parts! Be sure to tune in next week for the other half.And something else to look forward to next week, hopefully, is the arrival of my Roku T-Shirt!!! Hopefully they don't listen to the crude-fest that is our little show, otherwise they may be paying me to NOT wear their clothes too... who am I kidding, I'll probably just get a cease and desist order, if not for that, then probably for the logo above!
