Great Coffins

Sex sells everything, even in the afterlife. [NSFW] Be sure to check out the high quality "Fashion Line" coffins from this Italian company, featuring scantily clad models on caskets. Don't miss April in the 2005 Calendar, which is disturbing for oh so many reasons.
I had a joke about stiffs ready to go, but then the scantily clad models turned out to be female. Eeewwwww.....

Now why wouldn't google find it when I searched metafilter for a double post? Sorry about the double post. I'm so embarrassed.

Google is broken with MetaFilter. Try Yahoo instead.

MattS, the built-in MetaFilter search is more reliable then Google for double-post checking. I found the previous thread by searching (from day one) on the domain name from the link.

Looking at April in the calendar:
That 'observance' of easter totally trumps all the white they wear after labor day.

some of these girls are clearly in the process of making those coffins (look they have tools!) That must make it ok right?

If its that easy, it should be a feature - during checking of a FFP, there is no reason an automatic search couldn't at least give a warning...

This is great. Who said death has to be all gloom and doom?
Yeah, I know. The Goths.

If Jesus looked more like Miss April and less like the 3rd guy from the left in a Harold and Kumar outtake, I'd go to church.
Obviously, this marketing scheme wouldn't work for Alex.

Well, considering that it's made it to the front page of MeFi twice now, and I'm assuming Fark somewhere along the line, I'd say that yes, good sir, I agree.

I'm not so sure how well this works anyway, all I see is women. You say there are tools, coffins, something to do with a calendar in there? Odd, although I seem to remember they were holding stuff up, leaning against things...

fletchmuy: Classic shirt! Gotta get one ...
Anyway, as ridiculous as the badly photoshopped pinups are in the Fashion Line series,
(seriously: WTF? [NSFW]) ...
... I think my coffin of choice has to be the slick two-tone ferrari red model. [SFW]

Did anybody else notice that there is an American flag in the September picture of the 2003, 2004 and 2005 calendars? The tastlessness of this company is truly awe inspiring.

I looked at the image for December 2005, expecting to see a scantily clad model on a coffin wearing a santa hat.
I was disappointed at first. Then I realized that if that image actually existed, the rest of my life would become meaningless, because I would never see another image that could possibly top it. For now, I think I'm glad that such a thing doesn't exist.

As a funeral director, let me just let you know...I have seen far, far worse than this.

BlackPebble: that's not Ferrari red, it's the two-tone red of the shirts of the Roma football (soccer) team. It says "AS Roma" under the red one, "SS Lazio" under the blue/white one - those are the official names of the teams.
It's the two top league teams in Rome (Lazio stands for the region), that's where the coffin makers are based. There's very heated rivality between supporters of the two teams. It's only natural someone had to provide a way to show allegiance beyond the grave.
Pure trashy genius.
