It's saddening to me how the all the Mac OS X icons have slowly lost their definition and uniqueness over the years - this twee figurine is just the cherry on the excrement sundae. It doesn't even have the smile crossing both sides.
I can understand your general point, but how can you argue that this in particular isn't unique/cute whatever?
At least they remembered where the dark and light colors go this time around[1].
