When it comes to controversial fashion, we try not to be too sensitive. But sometimes we can't believe what we're seeing.
While out and about in Los Angeles on Monday, Brenda Song (of "The Suite Life on Deck" fame, for those of you not up on your former Disney stars) chose a top that definitely merited a second look. The actress' tee depicted the word "OFFENDID" along with two F's arranged back to back, creating the optical illusion of a swastika.
More importantly, what exactly is the message? The shirt comes from the retailer UNIF, but it's hard to tell what exactly is meant to come across here. Take a look at the photo below and tell us what you think. Are you offended by Brenda's tee?

Brenda Song looked bright and cheery as she shopped with her mom in Beverly Hills. The 23-year-old actress looked pretty serious, even though she was...

I by no means see a swastika. This looks nothing like it. People only see what they want to see. She is gorgeous in this outfit...she looks normal. It's just the media trying to get a rise out of her. SMH

I think if she were going to wear shorts that short she may as well not have worn any at all. But nah, I wonder what that shirt did mean though, it's clear it's not a swastika, though it does mean something

This is not a Swastika and of you read above it you'll see the word offend with a letter backwards. Some reporters have nothing else better to do than wright about something that is really NOTHING !!

It could be perceived by some as having "a little German on it" but truth be told, it isn't a swastika and should not be viewed as such. Many things we see, hear, touch and smell remind us or resemble something else, we need to stop making mountains out of molehills.

I was born shortly after World War II and I know what a swastika looks like. That symbol looks IN NO WAY like a swastika to me. Stop rabble-rousing. It's just a shirt with two F's and the word offended on it.
