Disney Designs Joy Division-Themed Mickey Mouse Shirt

So yeah, this happened. Disney has inexplicably designed a Mickey Mouse logo based on -- you guessed it -- Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures.' One of the U.K.'s darkest bands will lend their logo to the happiest place on earth.

According to a listing on the Disney store website (via Pitchfork), "Inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album, this Waves Mickey Mouse Tee incorporates Mickey's image within the graphic of the pulse of a star. That's appropriate given few stars have made bigger waves than Mickey!" Ian Curtis might have been able to make bigger waves if his life hadn't been tragically cut short by his suicide.
