Last month, Anderson Cooper dedicated a segment of his show “Anderson Cooper 360″ to mocking the Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan for posing with cats on the cover of PAWS Chicago Magazine (the magazine for the no-kill animal shelter PAWS Chicago). Corgan initially came back with a pair of angry tweets, but since this is a musician beef in 2014, it’s not official until someone responds by making a T-shirt about it.

At their hometown show at Chicago’s Thalia Hall last night, the Smashing Pumpkins sold shirts featuring two cats wearing bowties and the words “Fuck you Anderson Cooper”. (Actually, since the band’s logo is included, it says, “Fuck you the Smashing Pumpkins Anderson Cooper”, but that’s probably not what they meant.)

The new Smashing Pumpkins album Monuments to an Elegy is out December 9.
