Disney Stop Selling Joy Division Mickey Mouse T-Shirt

"....a representative from Disney has said: "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."
 The wave pattern of the album artwork has been adapted to feature the silhouette of Disney's biggest star Mickey Mouse. A line on the website originally gave a nod towards the band stating “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!” however this has now been removed." Thanks to Pitchfork!
