Last year, after selling a 25% stake in her husband's song catalog for $50 million, Courtney Love also sold Kurt Cobain's image to the National Entertainment Collectables Association (NECA) for an undisclosed sum.For $19.95 you can purchase the NECA Kurt Cobain Lunchbox. Here is the actual 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."
Not interested in this tasteful item? How about the $14.99 Kurt Cobain Mini Flask Keychain? Again, here is the item description provided by NECA: "Smells like teen spirits. This mini flask has Kurt Cobain's s
ignature and photo printed in high-contrast black & white on the face. Convenient keychain hook makes it easy to add and remove from your keyring. Order yours and we'll drink a toast to Kurt's genius together." Simply disgusting.If neither of the above items strike your fancy then preorder the Kurt Cobain 7-inch Teen Spirit Action Figure for $16.99 (the 7-inch MTV Unplugged figure is coming soon!). NECA's item description: "Can you smell the teen spirit? From that infinitely famous Nirvana video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit," comes the action figure debut of Kurt Cobain. He stands 7-inches tall and comes with his Fender Mustang guitar and a gymnasium floor display base. He didn't enjoy the spotlight, but he might enjoy your living room." Wait. "He didn't enjoy the spotlight, but he might enjoy your living room"? Unbelievable.
Sorry, Kurt.

Wow....sad to see how far some people will go for $$$. Those discriptions are some of the most distasteful things I've ever read.
