Upper Playground "Scandal" Tees


Runnin' through some blogs, I came across Upper Playground's "Scandal" Tees. They play off of recent news headlines like Michael Phelps seen in a picture taking a hit from a bong and Chris Brown allegedly hitting/assaulting/beating Rihanna.

On the Phelps subject: the dude is young. His ability in the pool is amazing (dude swims like a fish and is built like a fish, hold sh*t!), but people gotta keep in mind he is still young. I think the big reason it was such a big deal was that he became a role model to so many people in such a short time span. It didn't make me change my opinion on him, just let me know he is human (and not a fish-man like I was thinking, lmao)... The tee(the white one), is Phelps in a pool holding up a bong that is attached to his neck (instead of a medal) with Phelps exhaling some smoke and the words "Go For The Green" rather than the phrase: "Go for the gold".

On the Rihanna beating thing... I must admit, I took it more lightly than I should have. I am the type to joke about stuff, even things that are serious ass hell such as domestic violence. I have never hit a woman, never plan to. But after I first heard that Chris Brown hit Rihanna, I just thought maybe a sissy slap or something minor (its just Chris Brown after all...). I even cracked jokes to my girl and say things like "Don't get Chris Browned". After her photo was leaked, it made me drop the jokes for awhile. No matter the severity, I do not believe in laying hands on a woman, ever. No man does that... The tee uses an old Muhammad Ali famous photo to depict Jay-Z knocking out Chris Brown while Rihanna is watching ringside.

May consider making one of the two tees on IMVU later because I just made an Upper Playground tee. Check the bigger pics below.
