I remember reading an interview where they said that the song was based upon somebody having a Joy Division oven glove, and inspiring them to right about stupid merchandising scams. Unfortunately, it has also become a firm favourite of the Stormfront White Nationalist Community . At least a few members of their forum, it would seem (type 'half man half biscuit joy division oven gloves' into yahoo and see what option number three is). Which just goes to show - white nationalists are a bit thick and don't do irony.
