Gravestones Advertising Video Games?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the insanity-in-the-afterlife dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In an insane bid to drum up publicity The Guardian tells of Acclaim Entertainment who are seeking to enlist the help of the recently bereaved, well the poorer ones anyway, to help promote their latest game." My favorite comment is a spokesman for the Church of England who said they wouldn't allow it saying "There was enough fuss with plastic flowers in churchyards." Anyway, I just found this really surreal.

    On related news, Sierra is advertising in underwear, Blizzard buys text adds on life-saving medication and Valve buys pays to temporarily tatoo ads on newborn babes.

    Somehow if this is "Stuff that Matters" I'd hate to see what DOESN'T matter. I know I'm a troll with this post.... hrm.
