Spotted this anomaly in an otherwise respectable alternative fashion outlet. Thanks to Nadine for technological prowess.

The song titles on the back match, I think, the SGWBM listing. Shameless cash in? Don't RH have a patent on the name, or something? How can horrors like this propagate?

The leg is most likely from Gray's anatomy (as the head was).

I don't think it is - you don't dissect a leg like that.

It looks more like a wire-frame drawing of an orthopaedic device.

no,its not grays;looks like some dodgy "i ran the world" sh1t to me.or yeah,a leg-iron. :?

and honestly motz:do you think the kind of research/knowledge of the girls that a reference as subtle as that would imply has gone into this?

Unless these lovely gals does: http://www.mercync.org/sisters_of_mercy ... ericas.htm

"We're Sisters of Mercy and in many ways we're not as different as you might think. We can be young, middle-aged, or seniors; enthusiastic or stubborn; fun-loving or reserved"

I think at least "senior, stubborn and reserved" describes our hero very well. :lol:

I'm just showing my support for the Sisters, those loveable nuns..

Besides, all the bootleg covers are entertaining and often better than official covers, so why not the t-shirts too? :P
