CHRIS BROWN

this whole thing is so gross

http://www.thesuperficial.com/rihanna-chris-brown-kiss-vmas-video-photos-09-2012

Forgive and forget! But most importantly: forget!

I was all "fuck that guy, and shame on the entertainment industry for welcoming him back with open arms" for the longest time. Then I read the actual police report and I was all "fuck that psychopath who's probably going to eventually wind up actually beating someone to death, and shame on the criminal justice system for not locking him up".

y'know after they've done songs together and she's told oprah she still loves him and on and on and on i don't know why people continue to whip themselves into a frenzy over the fact that rihanna doesn't hate chris or avoid him or whatever. it is what it is, for better or worse.

agreed

I just cant believe he keeps winning awards is all for me.

whip themselves into a frenzy

aka taking 1 second to post glum messageboard posts, but thanks some dude it's important yr always there to make sure ppl are only caring the exact right amount about the exact right things

I don't really ride the 'celebrities should be role models' train, but it's super unfortunate that so much of the narrative that followed gave the implicit impression that what he did basically became water under the bridge at a certain point. It's depressing as hell on a personal level that Rihanna seems to be totally okay with him now, but it's even more depressing that there isn't any strong counter-narrative telling women that it's really not okay for people to do things like what Chris Brown did. You and I may say "well, duh" but I guarantee that there are women telling themselves that, if Rihanna's okay with Chris, then getting beat up is in some way acceptable.

If you’ve been on the Internet at all in the past 10 hours, you’ve probably had it screamed in your face that “OMG! Rihanna totally kissed Chris Brown at the VMAs!”

this kind of thing, from the link m@tt posted, is what i was referring to, as opposed to m@tt's post itself fyi

.......

okay, that is a stretch but close enough for me to o_O

remember when "Run It" came out and everyone was all "oh look at this nice young man, he wants to dance"

what is this i don't even

i mean SURELY it can't be real

but it looks like this has happened and I just...

its like if R Kelly got a tattoo of Calvin pissing on a Powerpuff Girl

Did he get Rob Liefeld to draw on his neck?

cool tat

To me, this seems weirdly akin to a serial killer taking a 'trophy' off of his victim's body.

ugh what a stupid motherfucker

this guy is sort of pathological huh

Worst Human Ever

ok THIS is something to get whipped into a frenzy over

It's almost scarier to think that the resemblance actually was unintentional. "Oh, yeah, I guess it does kinda look like my ex-girlfriend's face did after I beat the shit out of her that one time. My bad."

how many girls on Twitter are going "he can tattoo my battered face on his neck any day of the week #teembreezy"

Rihanna must be swooning

oh my god: http://www.billboard.com/column/the-juice/chris-brown-tattoos-battered-woman-s-face-1007946002.story#/column/the-juice/chris-brown-tattoos-battered-woman-s-face-1007946002.story

According to TMZ, sources close to Breezy's camp say the similarities are "purely coincidental," explaining, "It's a random woman.'" On August 30, This Chris Brown Blog posted a few photos of Chris Brown including one that shows the same tattoo, unfinished. Breezy rocked ink in the same area of his neck during the 2012 MTV VMAs on Thursday (Sept. 6), except the detailing couldn't be seen due to his attire

"that's someone else Chris beat all holy shades of fuck out of"

this guy is the gift that keeps on disappointing

be curious to hear what he thinks the picture is of

so how long til he kills rihanna

I guess the logical endpoint with all this is seeing him smooch Rihanna on his way to the stage to accept an Oscar for Beating RiRi. "I wanna thank the Academy, and I just wanna point out that this movie is about me beating up a completely different mouthy broad named RiRi."

Rihanna is so fucked up

Better photo clearly shows it to bea Dia de los Muertos sugar skull. This may be the only time EVER I play the capn-save-a-Chris-Brown role, but I think people are going nuts here.

that's a photo of the unfinished tattoo

good call, its half skull half living face tho

which while not as bad as a beaten rhianna is certainly still interesting imagery for a man who has threatened to kill at least one woman

Yeah, and here it is finished (?). Still seems to obviously be a sugar skull to me, which just means Chris Brown is a lame hipster:

particularly you can see the lil curly que detail on the forehead

btw, whoever his tattoo artist is should give up. It's terrible work.

half sugar skull / half living woman

Someone really beat up that sugar skull lady

let's keep in mind, though, that if you are a celebrity who rather famously has an incident in his past where he smacked the shit out of his girlfriend, it's an even worse idea than usual to get a tattoo of a woman's face with markings on it in places reminiscent of the bruising you left on your girlfriend's face

Nobody's saying here (or anywhere else) that Chris Brown is intelligent. He's barely functional.

johnny that is definitely a face with skin on it, not a skull

never forget

You're familiar with a sugar skull, right? It's actually a face with paint on it:

Anyway, Chris Brown is a moron. The tattoo is of a half normal/half sugar-skulled woman which may or may not (but probably is) his sick homage to his own handiwork.

which means... the points being made in this thread still stand and you're making a wholly specious objection

oh come on it was a good catch! i have not seen this sugar skull info anywhere else

Nah, I was just reacting to people saying it was a tattoo of a battered woman and it isn't one. Whether or not it's a tattoo that's a metaphor for a battered woman (which it likely is) is different.

it's self-evident that the markings on the face aren't ACTUAL bruise marks and scars; the point is that the face is crudely reminiscent of Rihanna's and many of the markings are in places where he fucked up her face, which is fucking disturbing and even more so if it was "coincidence"

Chris brown is like a really poorly characterized villain in an 80s cop show, he's just too obviously awful.
