You should double check your facts I think.
Much like the phrase "OBEY" from Shepard Fairey, the entire campaign this deck was based on was Curtis Kulig's signature "Love Me" graffiti and art that's seen worldwide. "LOVE ME" is the phrase.
That said, I think it makes a great gift for friends or loved ones.
Not sure what facts you're talking about. No one questioned the deck was "Love Me", the point is that maybe "Love You" is more appropriate. So, what's "Love Me"? I love the deck and it loves me back? Even Curtis hasn't clearly articulated what it means ("It's my everything" doesn't quite cut it). It's been, what, almost 8 years. (Akin to Chromalume #7, I'd say.) I'm in Providence and I've seen more than enough Andre the Giant tags from Shepard. Enough that I wouldn't want an "Obey" deck, either.
At this point, it's just a commercial enterprise. A solipsistic, desperate phrase splattered on everything - no thanks.
