Hi Chris,
I hadn't seen the cover yet so, first I read the story in your link and then checked the cover. Something interesting, perhaps you can explain... 

In the newsobserver  article :
"....He is portrayed as the Cowardly Lion with a white and blue oval on his side that resembles the Penn State lion logo, ..." It seems the biggest concern (or the strongest arguable concern from the opposition's viewpoint) is the use of the logo.
BUT....when I looked at the cover, I do not see a logo on the lion. Was it there and Avent caved and removed it?
People today are so polarized; it's all black & white to them.There was a time when a cover like this could poke a little fun at the times. People would have a little laugh or shake their head at it and then move on. Today everybody gets so angry over every little perceived slight.

I was reading this story earlier about Plant Delights Nursery:


http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/02/24/1879485/nursery-catalog-sets-off-firestorm.html

It seems that Tony's nursery cover has made a few people angry,
and now there are people asking Penn State to sue him.

Anyhow, I noticed that his Web site is totally offline now
and wondered if it was related, or if anyone had any information.

Thanks,

Chris

P.S.  I haven't seen the catalog cover as I haven't placed an order
     in a few years.
