Video Tombstones

Posted by samzenpus on from the dead-tv dept.

Rio writes "A new company plans to unveil new high-tech tombstones with embedded flat screen monitors that would allow visitors to play memorial videos of the deceased. Joe Joachim, who says he wants to be the Walt Disney of the funeral business, plans to show the Vidstone this year at the annual funeral directors convention. The solar-powered Vidstone will play a video of the person's life at the touch of a button."

    Next time, can you please indicate that it is shock porn, a disturbing image, or just basically a troll? You just yelled "free porn!". What do you think everyone's here's going to do? Not look?!?

    Dunno... I think the whole idea is kind of creepy. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter worth a shit what the dead guy wants, cause hey, he's dead. Going to a graveyard should be a sombre experience, and having brightly lit videos of the person who's in the ground in front of you running around and talking is kind of, well, crass. It sounds like something Ricky and Julian would think of.

    Any man who wants to be called the Walt Disney of the graveyard seriously needs to go get some medical attention.
