London Retailer Sells Chris Brown CDs With 'This Man Beats Women' Label

What's that? You wouldn't believe someone slapped a Chris Brown album with a domestic violence warning label without actual proof?

OK, then.

Gawker reported Friday via Digital Spy that London retailer HVM - or some hard-at-work opponents of beating women....perhaps both - have taken their opposition to the Grammy and MTV Video Music Award nominee continuing to have a music career down a more direct path. Copies of Brown's fifth album, Fortune, have been slapped with a yellow label reading "WARNING! Do not buy this album! This man beats women."

In some perfect world Brown would wish into his existence, he's notorious for his R&B song stylings and slick dance moves. In the one actual human beings inhabit, he's famous for pounding then-girlfriend Rihanna's face into hamburger while driving in a despicable exhibition of multitasking the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

He's equally infamous for, ever since then, expecting anybody to agree with him that he's somehow been a role model since then and acting like he's entitled to public adoration for serving five years' probation, completing mandatory community service and undergoing court-ordered counseling. Earlier this week, Brown reportedly visited with domestic abuse victims at a Los Angeles charity event.

It's unclear whether HMV staff made an effort to remove the stickers, or just figured, "Well, he did."
