Anti-Bullying and a Monkey Join Forces - Taking Bullying to a New Level by Being Proud of Who You Are
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 08, 2013 -- WHAT:
From the NFL to Facebook beefing up anti bullying on posts Bullying is becoming a national epidemic.
One solution is embracing your “ugly” your “not cool” status and wearing it proudly.
Watch the new episode of Fast N’ Loud at Gas Monkey Bar N’ Grill with the monkeys and the guys from Ugly Kid Clothing. On this episode, you’ll see the Gas Monkeys build a car for Ugly Kid Clothing, an apparel company dedicated to rising above bullying. And this car has ugly written all over it… literally. The Ugly Kid Car will be on display at the Bar N’ Grill for all to see. But to the Rocky Rupe, Ugly Kid CEO, Ugly isn’t a bad thing. It’s a word he has embraced and printed on T-shirts and sold all over the world. He took the word ugly and made it awesome. The Gas Monkeys agree.
“The Ugly Kid message is powerful, and it’s something we’re excited to stand behind,” said Richard Rawlings, owner of Gas Monkey Garage and star of Discovery’s Fast N’ Loud. “At Gas Monkey Garage, we’re all about owning who you are and rockin’ your identity, so we’re more than excited to work with the Ugly Kid team.”
Monday night’s event is free and open to all ages because, unfortunately, there’s no age limit on bullying. The Ugly Kid team hopes the event encourages the “rise above” stance on bullying instead of the “revolt against” stance.

About Ugly Kid Clothing:
Growing up "Ugly" or "different" isn't easy, but at Ugly Kid Clothing we decided to take something that people see as "ugly" and make it COOL! That’s the whole idea behind Ugly Kid Clothing. When we were kids we hated being called "UGLY" and now its welcomed, appreciated, and viewed as a compliment. We quickly realized that "Nobody Likes Us!" most would take that as a negative.. hahaha not us, we ran like a bat out of hell with that idea, threw it on an shirt and were getting compliments immediately! We take their biggest insults and wear it on our backs every day
“It ain’t easy being UGLY” is our core motto. In other words, “It’s not easy being different!”
