Having merchandise of your favourite musician, with their face printed on a clothing item, can sometimes catch you off-guard. Especially when they are being laundered. To warn you about the side-effects of having such souvenirs of your favourite musicians is one tweet that has come under netizens’ attention recently. Comedian Alex Boardman was washing his dog’s blanket along with the giant cushion cover, which had British pop star David Bowie’s face printed on it. And as the washing machine swirled the clothes, there came a moment when Bowie’s face splashed across the transparent circular door of the machine which gave the impression that a man was trapped inside it. Sharing a picture of this moment, Alex wrote in a tweet that he forgot that Bowie cushion cover was also being laundered in the machine and for a brief second, he had a mini heart attack. At first glance, even the viewers were shocked to see a man being washed inside the machine.

With over 37.5k likes and 4.4k retweets, the tweet has certainly caught netizens’ attention.

However, it seems Alex is not alone in his experience, as one user commented on his tweet that he is well aware of the feeling as he too washed his Bela Lugosi t-shirt once and got the same shock.
