Getting Hatched with a 3-part series, check out the deuce.

Visit the Disney store for the Mickey-Meets-Joy Division exclusive T-shirt. (Regrettably, they are sold out.)

This homage to Joy Division is equally as fascinating as it is boring. This dichotomy is the curse of corporatization; a culturally vital entity can at once become flaccid.

As brands continue to co-opt culture for their own needs, I absolutely delight in those oddball efforts which truly exemplify the disparate goals of art and commerce, like this shirt and the goofball in the pic (what?).

I do, however, need to be honest and reflect that as a Southern Californian youth who mainly wore black and monkey boots and idolized bands like Joy Division that this shirt does, in fact, exemplify my many Disneyland memories, filled with adolescent pranks to sneak into the park and may or may not have included LSD trips taken throughout the kingdom.

Great to have Santi back, not-so-subtly stirring the pot (ouch, Gaga diss!).
