The controversial cultural clothing line known for hilarious and boundary-pushing tees have released a just-as-controversial calendar called ‘Hijabis Are Hot’. The 2010 calender flips the notion that cultural garb like hajabis are used to cover a woman’s beauty or hotness.

As usual, Brown Man has received praise and criticism over the 'Hijabis Are Hot' calendar. Are they out of line or in step?
