'Hole' And My Shoe

Courtney Love and her dropped pie face are furious about the latest UK ad for shoe firm Dr. Martens, created by Saatchi & Saatchi. The ad portrays Kurt clad in an angelic white robe, sitting on a cloud and wearing a pair of black Doc Martens. Subtle.

The company is also using images of Joe Strummer, Sid Vicious and Joey Ramone wearing the famous footwear. It's an ideal campaign as obviously they don't have to pay image rights or fees to any star who is dead. One of Dr Martens' most famous users was the late Pope John Paul II, so let's hope the Pontiff of plimsolls appears soon.

Courtney is naturally anxious that her dead husband not be associated with products he never used. What's that? Kurt DID wear Dr Martens boots on a regular basis? Over to Courtney's spokesperson.

"Courtney did not, and would not, approve of such a use of Kurt's name and likeness".

The reason for her anger? After vowing to cash in on selling off all Kurt's intimate items via auction, Dr. Martens turn up, steal his image and Courtney isn't being paid a fucking (Frances) bean.

And, as it happens, the pisspoor posters have been considered to be so shoddily executed and in such bad taste that Doctor Martens has fired Saatchi & Saatchi as its ad agency. That should leave the grave robbing cunts crying into their microscooters and overpriced trainers.
