Kinda Weird?

Has anyone ran across this T shirt?

What statement is the designer trying to make?

I understand that in Europe, there was an ugly rash of jokes about Diana, to the effect "She wouldn't be caught dead in a BMW" etc.

Is that Princess Di? She died in a Mercedes. Is that the point?

Other suggestions

A friend of mine suggested it meant "Di in a Benz", maybe there should be a picture of a seatbelt also.

I don't think it's anything flattering towards the Princess or Mercedes.

Di in a Benz

Could also be a reference to the fact that for a while she owned a 500SL. Pissed off the British establishment no end that she didn't buy a Jag.
