For Only $19.95, You Can Have Lunch With Kurt Anytime You Want

Okay, so Doc Martens wimped out on having an angelic Kurt endorse their boots after Courtney protested, but Love's made amends by licensing Cobain's likeness to National Entertainment Collectables Association, who in turn have created the must-have lunch-accessory for depressed, grunge-loving grade-schoolers everywhere. Blabbermouth points us to the Kurt Cobain lunchbox, available at WickedCoolStuff.com. Item description:

Come as you are. Come to lunch with this collectible tin lunchbox and show your coworkers that you are a child of the '90s. Featuring an iconic image of that Seattle grunge rocker, Kurt Cobain, this full size lunchbox is a unique collectible that features the former Nirvana front man.

All this Kurt-likeness appropriation making you sick? Fill up your Cobain mini-flask keychain and drown those sorrows. Only $14.99! Stuff those stockings.

Yeah, a lunchbox with Kurt smoking. Great for the kids! What kind of world do we live in now where this crap is marketed to kids.
Sorry Stereogum, but I just can't picture any "co-workers" (yours or mine) walking around with this. It's just not right.
I don't know which is worse, this lunchbox or the Pumpkins having Paris Hilton pictured on a CD single.
Stereogum reports, you decide (I guess).

Is this part of the rights deal Courtney struck to help maintain Nirvana's legacy? Uh, good work.
