I agree the the $1 00 is just begging to be $1 chip in search of a decimal.
However, I think people are misguided in thinking that multiple execs sign off on anything as trivial as chip design. Sure, some peanut-headed buffoon did the design work, and he probably has a boss, but that's it. Given that chip design is needed so infrequently, the peanut-head probably has another job that keeps him busy, and the chip design was just one more thing dropped onto his plate... and the task was assigned on a Friday, around 3 pm.
Nobody "signed off". It was a job, and it was done. If he made the 00's look like boobs, there might have been backlash (despite the history of Hustler), and peanut-head would be jobless. But under no circumstances was peanut-head ever compelled to give anything more than a minimal effort. Executives pay attention to art in advertising campaigns. Bonuses are awarded to art department people that create extra income for the property. That's where the art department puts their energy. Not a simple chip.
