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."

    This is a stupid story.. Stupid. I posted a much more interesting article than this yesterday and it was "Rejected" -- You suck.

    Ok, so I'm speaking out of anger... out of pain from rejection.. Can you feel it?

    The deceased can no longer view said videos

    I have no life and I just watched the Powerpuff Girls movie, you insensitive clod !

    Powerpuff Girls... Such a great series. Where else can you see more gore in a 15-minute episode than in Nightmare on Elm Street ? Where else will all that gore actually be a driving force behind the plot ? Where else will you see a torch-wielding mob chasing a superhero to force her to take a bath ?-)

    And where else will you see a remote controlled pickle being used as a weapon ?-)

    Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
