Music festivals used to be about peace and love but a T-shirt that was sold at a UK event is accused of making light of domestic violence, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.
The offending item was on sale at the Beacons Festival in Skipton North Yorkshire earlier this month. It features a photo of Rihanna on the front and on the back is a picture of her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown with his fists raised, as though he is about to throw a punch.
Underneath the sexy photo of Rihanna are the words: “I’d hit that.”
The phrase is traditionally a slang term meaning “to have sex with.” However, the phrase seems to be a deliberate pun and a reference to Brown’s 2009 assault on the We Found Love singer.
According to one writer, festival goers were not amused. Jim DeBarker said on louderthanwar.com that “a small crowd” was “imploring the vendors to take the T-shirt off sale due to the offense it was causing.”
