SM pulls out the controversial rape shirt, SAM YG denies it is part of the BNO collection

It shouldn’t have been produced in the first place, but we’ll take it.

“SM Group of Companies on Tuesday said it has pulled out of its department stores racks all items from the consignor that distributes the T-shirt with the controversial message about rape,” reports GMAnews online.

The report noted: “SM said it found the message on the shirt ‘unacceptable,’ adding the company does not tolerate such action.” SM is investigating how it got included in their delivery of assorted shirts.

DJ Sam YG meanwhile, denies on Twitter that the controversial shirt is part of The Boys’ Night Out collection.

The shirt that was posted on Facebook is NOT part of the BNO Tees collection. Rape is a very serious matter. We are against it. No means no.

Writer Karen Kunawicz alerted Facebook when she posted a photo of the shirt that she found at the boys’ section of SM Department store in Megamall. It quickly became viral Monday night.
