The Queen as the Joker

March 12, 2010

A t-shirt featuring this awesome artwork can be had for a mere $20 over at Threadless. Some might say $20 bucks is kind of pricey for a t-shirt, but you can’t buy stuff like this at Target or Wal-Mart. I have to think this t-shirt image is something Johnny Rotten would approve of.

Wal-Mart was selling them for $58.88 which is pretty good since Lexmark lists them a $79.99. Evidently that wasn’t good enough of a savings for Wal-Mart.  As the photo shows, the lowered the [...]
