Dr Martens says sorry to Courtney Love
Recently Dr Martens ran an ad using the image of the late
Kurt Cobain dressed in a
white, angelic robe and a pair of black Docs, sitting on a cloud. The tagline in
the corner reads: Dr Martens. Forever.
The thing was killed (the ad) after the Nirvana frontman’s widow
Courtney Love complained by smashing her Fender into a large glass tumbler of cocaine expressing her anger in the press.
According to a representative - "Courtney had no idea this was taking place and would never have
approved such a use," a representative for the Hole singer told People
magazine.
"She thinks it's outrageous that a company is allowed to commercially gain from such a despicable use of her husband's picture." [Yeah - you would know all about that wouldn't you Courtney]
Dr Martens officially apologised....after realising that their youth target market doesn't have a clue who on earth Kurt Cobain was.
