All Apologies

hot commodity of the week...

doc martens posters featuring celebrities sporting the boots in the afterlife.

[I am so going to dig up that 'dead rock star' issue of slack magazine- time to sell back issues!]

the question remains:

Do you suffer the irritation/frustration/embarrassment of a public firing to put out what is potentially a highly coveted, viral campaign that shows your edgy conviction or is the whole press release a load of hype?

So the ad agency that did this, Saatchi and Saatchi London, got fired...?

David Suddens, CEO of Dr. Martens’ parent company AirWair Ltd., told The Daily Swarm in a phone interview that the posters were never intended to see the light of day. “We said no. It was creative that was put to us, but we didn’t like it. It doesn’t represent the company at all.”

Oh bullshit! I smell a cover-up-- there is no way those ads got printed without someone at Doc Marten's siging off!!
