Well, I'm hoping that there are other factors involved as well-- Seeing that
the line was APPROVED by someone (probably LOTS of people) higher up the
chain than this Rob Ellis guy, I can't imagine that he'd be the only one
fired if this was the sole contributing reason to him being fired.
I'd be interested to know what other themes this guy has designed, and maybe
more importantly, if any of them have actually been themes to see the light
of day... Are the other themes he's designed been equally "riske" in Lego's
viewpoint? Was this just the final straw? Anyway, I can't help but think
there's more to the story than this...
