From "yuck!" to "awesome!"
You all remember that famous photo of the mouse with the human-like ear growing out of its back. It's not exactly an image you forget, in part because it's, you know, kind of gross. In fact, that image is often cited as one that prompts people to say "Yuck!" Well, it's been 10 years since that image first became public and maybe the culture had changed over the last decade:
Yep. That's a t-shirt design drawing on the infamous image. And there are at least two other designs . People even wear them.

I saw a great photo montage work in Edinburgh where that ear-mouse was put over a Tokyo skyline. I forget who the artist was unfortunately.
