Morrissey Endorses Clothing Brand, Regrets it Thanks to White Castle

Morrissey is known for a lot of things: his crooning voice, being part of the wildly influential 1980s band The Smiths, rocking a phenomenal pompadour, throwing tantrums.

We're going to focus on that last bit for now.

He's been an animal rights activist for decades (the second Smiths album is, of course, called Meat is Murder) and this has gotten him in some controversies in the past. Rather than cite any here, because I am very busy and important and have a lot of Netflix to watch, I'll just direct you to the entire section of his Wikipedia page that documents many such instances.

But now there's a new one to add to the list. Moz agreed to model for clothing company Supreme but, unfortunately, didn't seem to realize that Supreme has a business relationship with White Castle.

According to NME, this is what the Pope of Mope had to say:

I apologise enormously for the enfeebled photograph of me issued this week by Supreme. The shot was taken in October 2015. I considered the photograph to be fit only for a medical encyclopedia and I pleaded with Supreme not to use it. This was before I learned that Supreme were sponsored in part by the beef sandwich pharaoh known as White Castle. Supreme were issued with a legal caution not to use the photograph and their fee would be returned. Evidently Supreme have ignored my lawyer. No safety within the corridors of law. Ugh.

Enough of this, let's just enjoy one of my favorite Smiths jams:
