Marty's recent posts about Jelly Kellys and Murakamis have been cracking me up, not because of the trademark issues, but because of how the bargain hunting shoppers are destined to start camping out on his virtual lawn, waiting for the garage door to open and the deals to begin! Marty's right to wonder whether luxury goods manufacturers are leaving something on the table; that Jelly Kelly looks less like a cheap substitute than it does an improvement on the original.
