"Death sells," said Woody Allen in Annie Hall. "Sex sells," says everybody with a brain. If you can combine the two in marketing your product, the sky's the limit, baby.
But I've never come across any marketing brainstorms quite like the one from this Italian casket manufacturer.
The page is in Italian, so by way of explanation, just click under all the links under the subheading "Cofani funebri e fascino". The first should read "Filo oro."
Holy God.

| Normally sex and death are tied together in expressions of agony. So this makes me happy. Here's the story.
I'm not much into the porn queens as represented here, so if God could arrange for a Liz Phair type to carry me to the great beyond, that'd be great.
(Thanks to Jan for bringing this to my attention.) |
