The Ultimate in Bad Product Placement: Walking Dead Billboard Next to a Funeral Parlor - Neatorama

Someone wasn't using his braaaaaiiiinss here: a billboard advertising the zombie series Walking Dead was put right beside a funeral parlor in Consett, County Durham, England. The ad has since been removed, but the infamy will be undead forever on the Net.

Maybe this makes me a bad person, but I hope this is real.

If this is real, I seriously doubt it was by accident. Someone was using the tasteless, but very clever advertising part of his brain.

Me too. I wouldn't be caught dead in that place.

I think this billboard was deliberately placed next to this funeral home. It's genius topic association. No one will forget the Walking Dead ad next to a funeral home. Talk all you want about its "taste," but this is pure advertising genius.
