Disney store pulls Joy Division Mickey Mouse mashup tee shirt - Boing Boing (! got mine today)

Disney store offers, then pulls, Mickey t-shirt based on iconic Joy Division album cover - Boing Boing:

The Disney Store ~~is now offering~~ was, until January 25th, selling a new t-shirt design based on the iconic Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" album cover, with Mickey Mouse's face inserted in those wavy lines. From Manchester to Mousechester!

There was backlash, and ~~it looks like~~ the item is no longer available in the online store. But Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook liked it.

My copy came in the mail today. I'm pretty sure it's not original as I expect the real Disney shirt to have the logo on the shirt label. But for an instant meme, and a funny shirt, it's worth it. It will be reprinted at print-on-demand stores as this article goes to press.

Crazy for cards #Collection of 80,000 business cards since he was 8 years old

Crazy for cards:

Quite a collection: P. M. (Doc) Koepfer shows off some of the business cards in is collection of 80,000. He's been collecting business cards since the age of six.

Kloepfer, who is known as Doc to his friends, has been collecting business cards since he was a child. His pre-signed business card identifies him as Texas Admiral P. M. (Doc) Kloepfer.

"I am an honorary admiral in the state of Texas, appointed by George W. Bush, when he was governor," he said, showing certificates naming him an Admiral in the Texas Navy and an Honorary Texan. "I asked for them - I knew they were available."

It was during a childhood train trip with his mother that Kloepfer's interest in collecting business cards began.

"The first card I got was the conductor of the train. I went and met him and he gave me his card. That was the start of it," he said. "I was six."
