ANF Update

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) said late Friday that it has agreed to stop selling several T-shirts in its stores after a "girlcott" was launched by a group to protest the shirts. "We recognize that the shirts in question, while meant to be humorous, might be troubling to some," the New Albany, Ohio-based retailer said in a statement. The Women & Girls Foundation of Southwest Pennsylvania had objected to several of the company's T-shirts as "offensive."
