Normally, I would avoid posts like this. But this will be an example of when a designer or advertiser must draw the line. We have the tools and the knowledge to make these sort of things possible and it’s a shame when we (designers) use such tools to promote something that is wrong.
What am I talking about? This. And there is more where that came from, just scroll down to the Cofani funebri e fascino section and look around. Not only that, they have a whole calendar with the theme. Really, how low can you go to get a sale? I know it’s in Europe, and people are more open minded or whatever, but this is just ridiculous.
And, no, it’s not only a couple of photoshop tricks or prank photos, it’s a real business, and a part of their coffin inventory is zazzied up with these lovely ladies.
Armin, you serious?
I mean do you really care of this? Do you think that is a sign that something has gone too far?
You guys living in the land of opportunities, where everybody has the right to think its own way and spread his own thoughts are considering this offensive?
I'm sorry but, except for the graphics wich are poorly done, I don't see anything so blasfemous.
My personal opinion is that's just the way americans usually reckon, with a lot of hypocrisy, do I have to mention how you act reguarding alchol, firearms, drugs and terrorism?
Guess you allready know.
Sorry for the tone, but this kind of things really make me nervous.
