Mickey Mouse Moleskine

Last year I ordered a few Lego limited-edition Moleskines. The "limit" must be very high, as they are still available on Amazon. I don't care, because I never intended to keep them as collector's items anyway. This month, Moleskin published a limited edition Mickey Mouse Moleskine. It has an embossed Mickey on the cover, and includes a pull-out guide to drawing the famous rodent.

Oh sure, use the hide of an unpopular Disney rodent just to provide binding for a book honoring the famous one.

Does anybody else find it ironic that this post promoting a Mickey Mouse branded item comes immediately before one decrying copyrights in perpetuity?

  I’m still trying to understand why people are willing to pay as much as they do for a moleskine in the first place.

  I would find it ironic had both posts been written by the same mutant. But since they were written by different semi-humanoids, I find it as refreshing as an ice cold pan galactic gargle blaster.

Yes, my first thought was, “Why is Mickey Mouse hanging from a spiderweb? Coming out of his butt?” Then, “Wait, I think that was added by the owner. Well played, sir. Well played.”

I like how the one review on Amazon is a diatribe on the evils of Disney’s Copyright abuses.

  It’s very funny, too. Written by a Boing Boing reader, no doubt!

If there’s one thing Pawn Stars has taught me, things labeled “Collector’s Edition”, aren’t collectible; and anything labeled “limited edition”, is only limited by their maximum level of production.
