The Joy Division Mickey Mouse shirt was just the beginning

As I noticed yesterday:

I wouldn't care if they were as cool about parodies of their own product. But fuck Disney because they aren't.

faux-faded sweaters with Mickey on are still p big among bro-ish UK ppl with no dress sense of their own. presume they're from the high street and thus sanctioned by Disney

I don't get it, is the shirt in the pic supposed to parody something? And what is this Joy Division Mickey Mouse shirt?

I think the style of the logo is supposed to be taken from the Sub Pop label logo.

If a record label or a band incorporated a picture of Mickey Mouse into their T-shirt, Disney would have a lawsuit up their arse as quickly as possible.

I bet this was made by some licensee though and the people in legal have no idea what it's referencing. I'm sure it will disappear as soon as Sub Pop complains, just like the Joy Division shirt did.

I read this as 'The Joy Division Mickey Mouse shit was just the beginning'

And quiet frankly it should be.

I can't wait for the Disney Jesus Lizard shirt.

Everyone’s got the records – I‘ve got the table.

Heck, that's gone up a shitload since I last looked

£8,400 final bid, assuming non-fakey

That seems like a very good price to me. One of a kind and all that. Plus, how cool would it be to hang around that table and listen to Iggy Pop?

Use of phrase "hang around" a trifle ill-advised

It was meant to be a joke.

Iggy Pop is what he played before hanging himself, reportedly after sitting at that table. Anyway, pardon my insensitivity.

I bet that table could tell a few stories.

if it were like sentient and had a mouth I mean.

Most interesting to me would be sitting there with Debbie while Ian was off in Europe with Anike (sp). Must have been really painful for her to be alone with Natalie.

well that's pointless

I really dislike v-neck t-shirts.

I like wearing them but not sure they look good with right-angled patterns like that. I need a few more logos appropriated into that to tell for sure.

I kinda want one of these jackets, idk if they are mass produced (the photo is from the 'Humans of Durham' facebook page, inspired by the 'Humans of New York' blog, I didn't even know the the 'Humans of New York' blog existed but it is a big deal apparently? I checked and my local paper has a regular 'Humans of Warrington' feature, also inspired by the New York thing, but it's pretty dull to be honest)

the jacket isn't parodying any band logo or anything, it's just the poster for this cartoon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey%27s_Revue - but this seemed the most relevant place to put the photo. the colours on the jacket look more orange and teal than the original poster

which is your favourite 'pug division' design?
