Completely Tasteless

I will keep this short because I'm pretty tired, but I cannot go without expressing my completely disapproval and in all honesty, my disgust with a certain company that is advertising on Route 35 in Hazlet, NJ. Because of my long commute every day, I tend to notice things that the normal commuter may not notice, but this is just uncalled for.

Today I saw a billboard that just pushed me to my limit with anger. How far will companies go to make a pretty penny? Apparently pretty far. There is a certain company that goes by the name of Shore Point Funeral Home that will now be known as the most tasteless, unsympathetic group of people I have ever never met (try to follow that).

This company has had two billboards up in the past two months. The first one read: 'We don't want to be your designated driver.' Inappropriate. The second one, which I saw today, said, 'Pretty...not pricey!' SERIOUSLY?!?!??!?! I cannot express in words how much I want to call these lunatics and tell them that not only are their billboards lacking in all things decent and general sympathy to an almost always difficult situation, but what funeral home really needs to be advertising on a billboard? HELLLOOOOOOOO!! The natural life cycle pretty much keeps you in business- so why spend money on advertising? We have all heard of yellowpages.com at this point and can find you if, god forbid, we need to.

At this point, I'm so disgusted thinking about this that I cannot possibly say anything else other than I hope everyone in Monmouth County is now banning your facility because of your lack of decency. May God have mercy on your soul.

The end.

  1. Those tasteless bastards!

    For the record, I never want them to be my designated drivers... and "Pretty...not pricey!" sounds like the escort business is slashing rates.

    I'm just sayin'...

  2. Really if someone is in search for a funeral home I hope they are not driving up and down 35 looking for a billboard to make their decision. That sort of discreet message to put in your pocket just in case god forbid you ever need it is truly disturbing. The only thing I can say is in these hard economic times recruiting clients seems to be a popular method for all companies. Sick
