Advertising on your grave stone

posted in Media News by swampgas on Jul 18th, 2002

Had a few submissions about this...and I thought it was a joke at first.
A computer games firm has been accused of pushing back the frontiers of bad taste after it announced that it was seeking to advertise its latest title on gravestones. Acclaim Entertainment said yesterday that it would pay relatives of the recently bereaved in return for placing small billboards on headstones, and that the offer might "particularly interest poorer families".
Uhh...no? When I kick the bucket, do me a favor and don't put an Adaptoid ad on my grave stone...
