LOL  ;D

Shoppers at HMV stores in London have reported that copies of Chris Brown's new album, 'Fortune', have been defaced with advisory labels warning people not to buy the LP because he "beats women".

Brown separated from his ex-girlfriend Rihanna after he assaulted her in February 2009 before a pre-Grammys party. The pair sparked controversy after they teamed up for a remix of Rihanna's track 'Birthday Cake' earlier this year, however, and their relationship has become the source of much speculation amidst rumours that they may be about to rekindle their romance.

Gigwise claims that the stickers, which bear the message "WARNING: Do not buy this album! This man beats women!" are thought to have been placed on the albums anti-domestic violence campaigners, although it is not known for certain how they ended up on covers of the LP.
 
A spokesperson for HMV denied any involvement in the stickers, however, telling E! News: "It was very much an isolated incident and nothing to do with HMV or representing our views. It would appear a member of the public popped into one of our stores yesterday and stickered a handful of CDs.
 
"These were spotted and quickly removed, but, before we could act, the individual concerned must have taken a photo and sent it to the media. To our knowledge there are no further stickers in our stores now."

Free publicity and marketing working hand in hand.
