Aaaaw Tim, why d'ya have to post that! :) That is one of my more embarrassing endeavors of recent, a result of my New Year's resolution to counter the "Wrong" of how Tiki is often presented by the media. So I decided to (instead of complaining about bad reporting and un-imaginative Tiki mugs being cranked out) jump in the fray and actively contribute when presented with the opportunity. Well I feel I did OK in the mug genre....

But even though I knew Bizarre is trashy, I did not know HOW trashy, with all the gore and fetish and 10 year old tatooed kids and...sigh. Not exactly what I call eye candy, more like eye poop. I was made to re-write my article so many times, for those little handy boxes (long sections of text would obviously confuse the readers) that less than half of what I wrote ended up in the piece. The media won. Don't read it, it ain't worth it. The Shag article is OK though.
