Mr. Brainwash Gets Ripped Off?



Saw this girl out at the bar a few nights ago. She was wearing what appears to be a Mr. Brainwash themed Alfred Hitchcock t-shirt. But on the t, Hitchcock is not holding his MBW' themed 'Life is Beautiful' sign. Instead, he is holding a sign that says KCRW.

KCRW is a public radio station in California. Not sure if they had permission to make the shirt, or if they ripped off the image from Mr. Brainwash.

Either way, it does seem fitting that someone would eventually rip off MBW's images, the way that others have accused him of doing the same.

  4. It was a official KCRW promo for members. I know of at least one KCRW listener who decided to stop supporting the station over their involvement with MBW, as he's a colossal toy/tool/joke/etc...
