Creepy, but not all that suprising. I studied quite a bit of advertising in college, being a design student, and it always made me ill, how far people would go to publicize their product. Gotta give them props for creativity, even if they are assholes. At least they put some thought into the concept, not like most the crap we have to see every day.

[> creative yes but sad to a disturbing point -- UHC, 15:19:41 07/19/02 Fri [1]

the sad part is there are prolly families out there who would actually do this. Now the thought of advertising anything on a grave is bad enough, but if you say had a guy who owned a family business and he put it on there it would almost be acceptable, if say the business was his whole life. But to put something on a grave that basically plays with the whole dead/undead gothic world really would be disgusting. first because I can't see someone older dying of natural causes having anything to do with this. And if they are younger and die from something less natural then it would just be too sad that they died so young in life. So really there is no decent way you could actually justify putting something this bad on someones grave.

[> [> not justifying it at all... -- Shell, 17:40:10 07/19/02 Fri [1]

I'm just recognizing where it comes from. People can use their minds to come up with some really horrible stuff. In fact, it frightens me- a lot.

For some reason, I am thinking of September 11 right now. After the first 6 hours of catatonic shock in front of the TV, I turned to my roommate and said, "We could have thought of this." I know that sounds completely sick. But we had taken a class the semester before on experiential problem solving, and we had to solve all these large scale problems- weather, voting, etc. And the way we solved this stuff, well, if our professors had given us an assignment to destroy the twin towers, that is what we would have come up with. And there is somebody in the world whose mind works in the exact same way as mine, only they have a very fucked up set of religious beliefs, and THEY came up with it. but it could have come from my head, I am as capable as anybody of coming up with something that horrible. I don't even know where this is coming from- it has nothing to do with where I started and all its succeeding in doing is making me sob, so I am going to stop.
