We know that sometimes people thrive on the ‘shock factor’, but this is plain offensive.
A picture tweeted from the Coachella festival last weekend has gone viral, after a partygoer was snapped wearing a tshirt trivialising rape.
Changing up the lyrics from the Fatboy Slim and Beardyman, the festival goer wore a tshirt with the printed message: ‘Eat, Sleep, Rape, Repeat’ while posing for photographs:
This guy wins the award for worst fashion/lifestyle choices at @coachella. I’m not easy to offend, but this is shitty pic.twitter.com/fyjod24nAx

Needless to say, reaction online was not in favour of the choice clothing:
@JemayelK @hannahgais @coachella can’t even understand why some one would think that’s funny… Or wearable in public.

Jemayel Khawaja, who shared the original tweet, confirmed he had taken the shot himself and it had not been photoshopped.
