Here's a high quality version of the MK: Shaolin Monks menu art that's seen in both the PS2 and X-Box versions of the game. Another great post originated by Cinder over at the MKSM forums. As with his other posts, this is in extremely high quality, and it also doesn't have any of the text normally seen in game on the menu:

Mortal Kombat characters have a history of turning up in odd places. Raiden made an appearance in Unreal Championship 2 as one of the warriors. Sub-Zero made an appearance with his clan in MLB Slugfest. Now, another character is making a rare television appearance. We have confirmed that everyone's favorite hellspawned ninja, Scorpion, will be making an appearance during the season premiere of Comedy Central's pseudo-reality series, Drawn Together, as a potential house-mate! From the episode description:

The Season 1 cliffhanger continues as the cast crash lands on a supposedly deserted island. Everyone, except for Toot, makes it safely back to the house, where they immediately interview potential new roommates, including Scorpion from the video game Mortal Kombat. They settle on Strawberry Sweetcake.

The season premiere will be showing on Wednesday, October 19th at 10:30 PM EST/9:30 PM CST.

Our thanks to forum member atham3 for the heads-up on this rare TV appearance!
