That's the first time I've seen the pictures, but I read something about it on Google news the other day. That is just wrong on SO many levels.

what the fuck? could it be more tacky and desperate?!?! who gave permission to use his image? the widow? fucking disgusting!!!!!!!!!!! AND CHEAP!!!

frankly i don't think any dead person, esp those remembered for "punk ethics", whatever they might be, should be used to sell something commercially unless they gave their expressed permission while living ugh!! yuk!

It appears to be true.

Kurt Cobain, Joey Ramone Resurrected for Footwear - Spinner.com - Free MP3s, Interviews, Music News, Live Performances, Songs and Videos

If there's one thing that we look for when we go shoe shopping, it's the promise of a premature -- or, even better, extremely violent -- death. So naturally, when we stumbled upon the latest ad campaign for Doc Martens footwear, we were drawn in by a passel of photo illustrations featuring such deceased punk icons as Kurt Cobain and Joey Ramone adorned with angel wings and -- of course -- those trademark clunky boots.
While we certainly respect any ad agency's inalienable right to defile the corpses of celebrities hither and yon, we have to wonder why these particular creative types chose to seize upon musicians who seldom wore Docs in the first place -- or, in the case of Sid Vicious, probably couldn't have figured out how to tie the darn things even if given step-by-step instructions. The images used in the ads were chosen, according to writer Andrew Petch, "to communicate that Dr. Martens are made to last."

Fair enough, though we're sure fans of the aforementioned artists would prefer a depiction of a steel-toed model aimed at the groin of the ad-man who came up with the idea in the first place.

i'm assuming courtney gave her blessing?

this comment made me laugh

Pathetic....I can't believe that they actually think that this is "cool". The only people that they are trying to market to are the trendy "clones" that shop at Hot Topic......This is insane...... I can't believe that the last era of great music is being turned into a marketing campaign...... Courtney Love needs to be drug out into the street and shot in front of people that she cares about..... Thanks a lot Courtney, for ruining the last good things about my childhood....Scumbag
ah, grammar humour

I think the actual advertisments themselves look, well, really naff.

It's a crass idea and the pictures, especially Kurts look crap. I've never seen a picture of him in Doc Martens either.
