My point was that in the bigger picture they'd probably not care that much as to fuss about it and if it made someone happy to drink out of a Buddha belly mug then they'd probably be glad that someone was happy.

I think in the big picture both Bhudda bars and Tiki bars offer a taste of the exotic and escapism; something different than a "Ruth Chris" steakhouse vibe and an opportunity for fusion cuisine.

It may just be that this is the era of the Bhudda bar, just as Tiki had its heyday (and is enjoying a resurgence now).
