Navagon: Neither bother with actual news and just make it up as they go along. But I suppose the Mail is easier to ignore.
The Daily Mail has two things going for it, more boobs and less Murdochs.

gargus: Atleast the dead just want to eat and wont run around acting like assholes for no reason at all.
You must live in a really bad neighbourhood if biting, eating and killing people who don't want to be bitten, eaten or killed isn't considered as acting like an asshole :-\

Oh, that picture reminds me of another bad placed advertisement for a tv series:

The name of the bus station is "retirement home", the text of the advertisement is "no wednesday without a dead body".

I love Zombie Horror Survival movies so I'd love that either way, Heck, bury me at some kind of funeral home like that xD

I can see how it might upset some people though, but in reality, I think it shouldn't. But yeah, people in an emotional state ... always a difficult issue, and I agree, rightfully so.

gargus: I guess Im confused how its somehow not in bad taste if it was say another 100ft down the road? So what if its next to the funeral parlor?

Its just a billboard, thats what its there for is to post advertisements. If they didnt want potentially unfit advertisements put on it then they shouldnt have taken the money to put it there. In 30 days it will be gone, no one will remember and no one will give a shit.

Its amazing how people love to get upset about shit that does not matter and probablly couldnt be any less important.
My thoughts exactly. What, a person who's recently lost someone is going to get upset because there's an ad for a zombie series on the side of a funeral parlour? What the fuck?

I guess the real problem is that people who have nothing going on in their lives like to make a fuss about the little irrelevant things.

To be fair, the funeral home did make sure to ask before they allowed the board to go up that there would not be any inappropriate adds put there.

The only tits in the Daily Mail are the people who write for it. The Daily Mail has the pretence of being a middle class outrage-a-thon in tabloid form.

They might not have Murdock but they do have Piers Morgan writing for them. Which is equally odious, just less comparable to multiple malignant tumours.

What's so inappropriate? Having an ad for a fiction movie on the side of a funeral parlor? Because clearly there is a link between funeral homes and zombies? If people cannot distinguish reality from fiction they are too dumb to comment in the first place.
