Let me put the tiki castration myth to rest. The Mai Kai didn't do it, Mother Nature did. It rotted off and they never had to deal with the controversy.

The other couple of issues I have heard over the years that I had a chance to ask about:

The velvet paintings were likely Leeteg when they were new, but people touch them so much they have to have them repainted every year or so, and they do not have a fake Leeteg signature painted on on purpose.

Next issue is the painted tikis. Some people think it's wrong to paint them. But they only paint the ones that are supposed to be painted.
