I have to agree with several ppl here who suggested that the style of retail products labeled "tiki" is really widening lately to include items that only remotely resemble tiki. Putting a sign labeled "tiki statue" onto a cigar store indian doesn't make it a tiki statue. Bananabobs, I have to disgree, a discussion forum is a place to express opinions. There shouldn't be any need to feel wronged, hurt, or angry, that someone's "tiki" art, tiki bar, tiki whatever may be challenged as such here on this board. After all, I do believe this board was founded by enthusiasts of the very style Sven is trying to keep alive.
