I feel hostility? not sure why. It's a mug.

An inferior design is being attributed to a pair of respected designers who didn't do the work. The only reason to do this is to try to cash in on the respect that collectors have for these designers, and all this is happening after the designers have parted ways with the company pushing said inferior design.

If there's hostility it's not toward a lumpy bit of kiln-fired slurry, but towards the people who would mislabel it to try to gain sales. They might as well have labeled it "Tiki Eames Shag Witco L@@K!"

I saw this at Disneyland. I thought it was cute. I bought it.

I didn't realize that it had Kevin and Jody's names on it until the cast member took it out to show it to me. So I don't feel duped or cheated in any way.
