Showing Original Post only (View all)guy wears 'Eat Sleep Rape Repeat' T-shirt at Coachella [View all]
An unidentified male concert-goer has come under fire for his offensive choice of festival fashion after he was photographed at Coachella wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words 'Eat Sleep Rape Repeat'.
The snapshot, which shows the man giving the peace sign as he flaunts his controversial shirt at the festival held in Indio, California, sparked outrage after it was shared on Twitter on Sunday by Jemayel Khawaja, the managing editor of Vice's music and culture channel Thump.
'This guy wins the award for worst fashion/lifestyle choices @coachella. I'm not easy to offend, but this is sh**** [sic],' he tweeted along with the picture.
-----
'@JemayelK @coachella Is that real? I imagine it was meant to say RAGE? [sic],' one critic asked, while someone else added: '@JemayelK please say that's photoshopped?? [sic]'
But Jemayel confirmed that he had taken the snapshot and seen the shirt with his own two eyes after one Twitter user asked: 'Before I jump on the appropriate rage wagon, did you take this picture yourself?'
'Yeah I did. Rage away,' he replied.
The shirt, which doesnt appear to be sold online, may have been custom-made for the event.
Meanwhile, someone else confirmed that another Coachella reveler had taken to Twitter on Sunday to share their disgust after running into the man in the controversial T-shirt.

It's called "Edginess," a rather dull cutting edge for the Celebrity Industry.

You want to lock people up for years 'if need be' at hard labor because you disagree with them?

New rule: If you buy that shirt you immediately have to register as a sex offender.
