Rihanna seems to be moving on from the 2009 incident that drove then-boyfriend Chris Brown into domestic violence classes, but the public has been slow to forget. Yet Hops & Chops, a Georgia restaurant, is trying to cash in on the incident by naming its latest creation after them: The Carribean Black and Bleu, a sandwich with marinated ribeye, bleu cheese, tomato, Lamborghini onion, lettuce, and Carribean spices.

Sounds delicious, but the restaurant has received a good deal of negative feedback on its Facebook page. The Daily Caller pulled up this comment from an upset observer: "I keep trying to find the right words to respond to this inexcusable, irresponsible, and despicable incident and I can’t seem to find the right words other than we will NEVER eat there." And another:"Yikes ... that's in super poor taste. I love Chops and Hops, but this might be enough to keep me away for a bit. Wow ... just wow." Do you think the restaurant went overboard by naming a burger after the Rihanna and Chris Brown domestic violence incident?

What a tasteless and insensitive thing to do. Domestic violence is no laughing matter.

Let's compare a couple punches (I agree he went too far though) to a drive by shooting.

Some one's life = Rihanna's face for 2 weeks.

actually domestic violence is very deadly. there are several cases when a man has literally beat his woman to death. Plus, just because someone gets shot, it doesn't mean that they're immediately going to die. In fact, i even know someone who got shot in the back of his head and survived. (not saying that shooting is OK)

I'm talking about the specific scenario.

Most times there's a drive-by, somebody is critically injured or dead.

You know what really says that what happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna is ok? Rihanna taking Chris Brown back and releasing two remixes with him. What a burger is called is a tiny distraction when the woman it happened to has every possible support to get herself out of the situation but decides that she doesn't mind being with an abuser.

Honeybuns to Dancing... 2012/03/28 19:33:42

Yeah that's true she let down all of her friends.By even going to see him and make a song with him.Even though i like their song birthday cake. She should have not done that. I was one of her fans.

You have to have the mind of a 4 year old to think this is a promotion of violence. It's just a simple joke. I think it's hilarious, and a lot more people around the world need a better sense of humor.

reply
Honeybuns to Sin 2012/03/28 20:22:02

There are some things you just don't joke about. How is rihanna getting beat up. And then somebody making a sandwhich of it. Having a sense of humor. And i don't have the mind of a 4 year old.You have the mind of a four year old if you think this funny. 4 year olds are immature and that is what you are. And 4 years old think everything is funny because they don't understand violence and other stuff is really bad. smh

Sin to Honeybuns 2012/03/28 20:28:03 (edited)

Just because I laugh at a joke that isn't politically correct, doesn't mean I support violence or like it! Yes, she got "beat up." She didn't get assualted and beaten be a sadistic madman, like you want it to seem. I'm in the marines. I know violence much better than you ever could. Afghanstan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, are just a few examples of what violence is, when you look at it through my eyes...

reply
Honeybuns to Sin 2012/03/28 23:26:11

Well yeah i can't compare to the violence you saw but she still was beat up by chris brown.Wether he was a madman or not. and i feel bad for her. She did not deserve that.

I agree with you, but as soon as she decided to take him back, she forfieted any right she or anybody has to really complain about it. If she was still staying away from him and was still traumatized by it, I would say yes, it is cruel to name a burger after it. But now i say "pass the ketchup".

reply
Honeybuns to jimih67 2012/03/29 20:12:08

Lol yeah that is true .She let a lot of people down by taking him back. But i still would not eat that burger.It loos disguting.

No one deserves violence. It's just a part of human nature. It's sad that we, as people, can't understand that.

I might consider it insensitive if she stood her ground, but she didn't.
What happened to her being a role model for young women? Isn't that what she said she wanted to do?

If Rhianna has taken Chris Brown back, then all bets are off. Some of the same people who are so shocked and horrified about this sandwich are probably fans of Brown who would say to someone like me who thinks Chris Brown is an abusive scumbag to "just get over it". So really, if Rhianna is over it enough to take him back, then that incident is fair game.
