"Unfortunately, one of your products has been cancelled because it contains content that violates Peter Firth’s rights of celebrity/publicity.

Generally speaking, we cannot fulfill any orders containing a copyright or trademark protected title, name, or image. Examples of infringing material include:

--pictures or names of celebrities
--names of characters from books, films, or television shows

I thought it was pretty cool that they recognised Peter Firth, so I'm thinking this is a very nice company! However, it means I'm getting nowhere.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether 1) PF would mind being violated or 2) if not, whether there is another avenue I could try?

lamo at 1 and as for 2 - you need to live in Asia. ANything is possible. I've just printed off a lot of screen caps to make into a photo book (sad, I know). I'm not selling it, it's for me BUT there are no restrictions here. Sorry, I know that doesn't help (unless you want to pay the postage costs form Asia in which case I could probably get the mug done for you?) PM me if you are at last resort with it.
