Aloha Tiki Tribe!

"The Body Glove Sea Creature Tiki-Mug Set" is instantaneous gratification! "Kitsch" (German) is a style of mass-produced art or design using cultural icons.

According to Walter Benjamin, kitsch is an utilitarian object lacking all critical distance between object and observer; it "offers instantaneous emotional gratification without intellectual effort, without the requirement of distance, without sublimation". GREAT! Purchase your Tiki-Mugs and get your "Instantaneous Emotional Gratification"!!

Except, er... you have to "Pre-order" your "Instantaneous Gratification" for now.
However, u can do so at the Wyland Kona Oceanfront Gallery!
