It was a week for confrontation, as Abercrombie & Fitch challenged Jersey Shore's The Situation to stop wearing its clothes; Nivea was attacked for a racist ad; and people piled on Goodby, Silverstein & Partners for stealing (or rather, "appropriating") a 100-year-old logo. There were also lawsuits (Vampire Weekend settled one involving the album-cover model above), sex, awesome billboards, and one Mercedes-branded prosthetic arm. Below, re-enjoy the week's 10 most-read AdFreak posts:
