three threads on one shirt now? mods can you merge them?

The image is in the public domain innit? So I guess anyone can do whatever they like with it, as long as they don't mention 'Joy Division' or whatever.

Can't imagine anyone from the band would be too happy with this.

Also, what kind of an "adult" buys their ruddy clothes from the Disney store? Those with a mental age of 12?

Perhaps it's Disney for grownups..but I'm from a country where adults have cute character items; my mother has a Mickey Mouse T-shirt and I have a Hello Kitty T-shirt and so on. I think it's a cute shirt but I worry about the copyright and the size of the shirt. (I wear very small sizes).

And the bit were he say's he didn't know about it because the 'others' don't talk to him anymore is very wItty

according to the AV club, hooky is flattered JD and disney world are 2 of my absolute favorite things, so i think this shirt is perfect. embracing contradictions for life

Well, it's gone now. Probably sold out and or taken down. All very silly.

I remember seeing this on the merchandise stall when they supported Interpol at the Apollo in 2010. I'm surprised Monty didn't buy it.

This Disney Tee is clearly inspired by Kraftwerk (the model even appears to be doing the robot dance).
