I remember a sketch on 90s UK sketch show Glam Metal Detectives about a rasta going into a record shop and asking if they had any Phil Collins, then when they when they didn't have any settling for a Kenny Rodgers box set, the "joke" being that only white people like these acts - however this was only about 5 or 6 years before this was released - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Renewal_(tribute_album) - and looks like Kenny also had non-white fans.

Taken in the same shop (Cursed Image Inc., I believe it was called?) as my bunny masks pic upthread. And believe it or not, I have even more disquieting shots from the same place but feel it is my civic duty to drop them slowly so as to not induce wailing, gnashing of teeth, etc.

Beyond the beautiful snapshot I took myself, I have a repository of similar holiday-related horrors on my Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/stewartpancreas/no-thank-you/holidays-of-hopelessness/

(NB: I have many, many accursed photographs tucked among my various boards so feel free to peruse.)

i guess the cover illustrator was told that they should only have the characters doing moves that the models themselves could do?
