Kurt Cobain's Suicide Note Just Became a T-Shirt?!
Former lead singer of Nirvana Kurt Cobain took his own life 21 years ago. Unfortunately, since then his death has become highly controversial and publicized. But while a life of fame meant his friends and family would receive (often inappropriate) attention from the media, we've never seen something as disrespectful and disappointing as this tee: a three-quarter-sleeved baseball shirt with a blown-up version of the musician's suicide note, retailing at $25 on eBay.
We've seen our fair share of offensive fashion items — and plenty of them have outraged us — but this design, along with the fact that people are buying it, wearing it, and sharing it, simply saddens us. Scroll down to take a look at a tank version of the top, which was formerly sold on Etsy, along with a few tweets that respond to a photo of a young girl flaunting the letter across her chest, and then tell us how you feel in comments!
