OK, let's talk about this Chris Brown album cover

Chris Brown has a new album coming out in December, which for a multitude of reasons is probably not a good idea.

Today, he posted the album art on his Twitter, and a bad idea just managed to get worse. Go ahead, take a minute to soak it in:

Excuse me if I sound like Mr. Belding for a minute, but hey hey hey hey, what is going ON here?

For starters, why is he wearing Rihanna's clothes? And what's with the robotic hand -- we've already been there with Beyonce and Adam Lambert, haven't we? And the guitar slung over the shoulder like he's the Bear Jew of R&B: Should Chris Brown be holding anything that can even be vaguely interpreted as a weapon? He also appears to be in outer space, which I'm pretty sure is a violation of his probation, and it's unclear why a guy with a felony assault rap against him is acting like graffiti is dangerous. He also looks more like Bow Wow than he does Chris Brown. With all that, it's almost not even worth bringing up the heroin fiend cartoon characters he's hanging out with down there in the lower right hand corner. Are those the voices in his head? And does he silence them with spraypaint?

All of a sudden, this is starting to look good. "Graffiti" is due out Dec. 15.
