He’s selling a shirt to fans about his dead cat named Dude (that no one knew existed until 9 days ago) that also doubles as promotion for his forthcoming album. I mean, you can’t see how absurd this is?

This is embarrassing, tasteless and tacky.

yes, but so is your pretending to be a girl

as if im homophobic

im not transphobic either. I just think your excuse of "im was molested by my cousin and all of his friends"--a likely story to begin with--is a preposterous reason for your current day gender dysphoria.

Can you think of any pop star who has sullied their personal brand to such an irredeemable extent? Morrissey should reissue "Now I Am A Was" as a single and just call it a day.

What was his brand to the hardcore fan?

I always thought of him as an awkward, ridiculous, unhinged gobshite, who by some miracle happened to have a lot of talent & charisma. I like him because he transcends all the obstacles he throws in his own way.

The only thing I'd kill with fire is the far right stuff - because then you're in exile & that might be a romantic place to be in a biography with all the mitigating circumstances laid out, but it's rubbish while you're alive.

Jesus Christ. He’s lost his f***ing mind.

You say it!!
In germany we say "he's completely malle in the birne"
Can it go any lower? I think....yes. He'll prove it next week...

He's an outsider. Always has been, always will be. (That brief flirtation with "national treasure" status was always nonsensical.) Part of him - the self-loathing side - must be loving this descent into real outsider status again, while another part of him - the charts-obsessed, narcissistic side - must be in utter despair. People are complicated, including his fans. (To put it mildly!!)

 

[Morrissey's left nut]

If you think about it, any Morrissey shirt is walking around with a pussy emblazoned on your chest.

 

[Morrissey's left nut]

Ew. There's just no finesse about it. It was clearly slapped together in Windows Paint in about five minutes.

Remember the Oye Esteban Yummy shirt? There is precedent.

Yeah - I noticed when Quarry gave him a more mainstream audience - he looked as if he couldn't believe they actually liked it. I think he's so used to aggro that he can't cope with anything that's purely people out for a good time.

He'll be happier with the despair.

I think the chart obsession is just something to focus on & centre complaints on - anyone really obsessed would have done collaborations with DJs by now. Or a Christmas album.

i find it interesting that his name is not printed on the t-shirt, unless it's on the back. have there been morrissey t-shirts without his name sold before?
dude mustve been a great cat and thats a sweet photograph of him.

I can think, immediately, of an official Swords shirt which featured only a Swords road sign.

What do I think about the merchandise? Not much beyond thinking it is dull and boring merchandise.

Morrissey might not be a dog on a chain but anyone who thinks this shirt is anything other than a tasteless cash-grab certainly is.

Nice little tribute to Dude.



VIVA MOZ !!!

Moz did it right by givin' Dude a lovin' remembrance.

How much cash would it grab? It wouldn't be worth it. He loves his cat, it fits with the album title, so it's something with his cat & the album title on it.

And if he does make a fortune from promo merch just by whacking it on his website he should tell us the secret.
