What is it with graphics on boards ...

I was looking at the timeless, possibly the 161, as I'm worth it :-).
But I was taken aback by the graphics. I know the world is currently
taken over by Lord of the Rings mania, but please...

I'm not one to buy a board because it has great graphics – but I am
put off by big mussel bound green trolls either trying to kill a
further green mussel encrusted troll, or simply posing for Mr Universe
with a big ‘weapon'

Who does there market research, have they not realised that not all of
use are metal heads or teenagers ?
