Mickey Mouse Meets Joy Division


The Disney Store was actually selling a Joy Division-inspired Mickey Mouse T-shirt. The familiar mouse shape is comprised of the waves imagery from the Unknown Pleasures album cover. And no, it's not a joke.

But alas, all good things must come to an end. Disney says the shirt is no longer for sale. A representative for the empire is quoted on Pitchfork saying: "As soon as we became aware there could be an issue, we pulled it from our shelves and our online store to review the situation further."

Here's the original link to the T-shirt on the Disney Store website.
