This photo of a t-shirt with unacceptable quotation printed on it gets viral on social media sites posted by Karen Kunawicz on her Facebook page.

The shirt had these words printed on it: “It’s not Rape. It’s A snuggle With A Struggle.”
Karen Kunawicz wrote in the caption: “Really SM Department Store? In the boy’s section?” As of 11:30 a.m., on Tuesday, September 23, the post had over 2,800 shares.



One of the people who commented on Karen Kunawicz’s post is Director Robbie Dinglasan, and he alleged that the shirt was part of the collection of the radio show, Boys’ Night Out (BNO), whose hosts were signed as endorsers of SM earlier this year. Director Robbie Dinglasan added that the shirt was already in the process of being pulled out.

Nonetheless, BNO host Sam YG said that the shirt was not part of the BNO collection. In his Instagram page, he said, "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."

Meanwhile SM Supermalls has also issued a statement on this matter. 


SM vowed that "appropriate action will be taken to ensure that this does not happen again."
