Abercrombie has woken a who-knows-how-many strong group of angry Taylor Swift fans (Swifties) thanks to the t-shirt at right that reads "# more boyfriends than t.s." (Is it that moose? Does the moose have more boyfriends than T.S.? Hard to say with A&F.)
One fan quickly erected a Change.org petition and then made a YouTube video, in which she called fellow fans to contact Abercrombie public relations. The answering machine message she gets is the following: "Thank you for calling Abercrombie & Fitch public relations. If you are calling regarding the Taylor Swift t-shirt, please note this is no longer available." Twitter is a terrifying place right now for Abercrombie, too. The general feeling is best summed up in one tweet: @Abercrombie there's nothing we do better than revenge ok?
