Hoodie for an 8 year old boy recieved from elderly relatives as a gift has the partially changed R&B song lyrics ..."I got 99 problems but Bench aint one " on the front.Bench is the clothing brand and replaces the word "bitch" from the original lyrics.
I would not put this on my son and think its inappropriate for a little boys top.
Why would a clothing company think its cool to introduce the idea of calling women/girls b*hes to a child ???
Obviously well meaning relatives had no idea.

Although there is a dog in the lyrics, that is not the bitch he's referring to, simply one more thing on the list of problems he has, of which a "bitch" is not one.

It's a song I like, admittedly, but no, I wouldn't get my kid a hoodie like that.
