I don't think this has been made public knowledge yet, but I read that one of the wikileaks documents revealed a secret anti-tiki cabal consisting of Kim Jong Il, Osama Bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Fidel Castro, and Generalissimo Francisco Franco (amazingly still alive after all).

Apparently they meet up once a year to compare notes on progress toward the worldwide goal of tiki destruction. Bin Laden in particular is said to have extreme distaste for what he calls, "the kitschiness of non-authentic polynesian geegaws." However, a big factor in recent years has been the members' collective advancing age and increasing physical limitations (for example, Franco in fact is kept in a perpetual weightlessness environment in a low earth orbit satellite). This has had a detrimental impact on their effectiveness, and they were unable to stop several new advances in the tiki world from happening. They got the Beverly Hills Vics, but they couldn't stop Forbidden Island, Smuggler's Cove, and most recently Tiki No.

I hope this isn't political, just some reported intel I thought would be relevant to this thread.
