I never expected you to actually be able to pull up so many examples. It's really something to think of the Buddha being used in something as trivial as a lampshade. I guess the most respectful thing I could do when I encounter one of these is to do as you say and not forget to turn out the light. Be well.
Must share an anecdote on this subject. Some years ago, was caught turning my nose up at one of these abominations at the home of a friend of a friend of a friend (ah, the powers of disassociation!). Anyhow, this person got very hot and bothered and then launched into a strident thesis, founded -- hold your breath -- entirely on a play on the word 'enlightened'. Oooh...So that's what it is. Silly, silly us. Db.
