Sid already did his time in Hell when he lived on this BS planet. I enjoyed his work with the Pistols and he can only go on to better places than here.

These have not been banned - according to the Media Guardian. You can see what AdLand has to say about this here: http://commercial-archive.com/node/137213

Saatchi & Saatchi just lost the account because of these ads (which were faked, according to Kate Stanners).

Of course, Courtney Love is furious, but she probably doesn't quite know why. :-)

Kate Stanners, Graham Lang, Andrew Petch..... HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! YOUR ALL GONNA GET FIRED!!!!!!! Hope your gold idea was worth it, maybe you can pick up your award on the way out.

Dear Stupid Shits
Your missing the fucking point
Awards I think not preying on the dead is hardly a new concept
How the fuck do you know where Sidney is do you have a hotline to the man upstairs?
wankers full of bullocks please fuck off
THIS SUCKS
Boycot Doc Marten
Boycot Satchhi & Satchhi and all they do advertising for
Hit em where it hurts
show em they cant do this shit
Please Email them with bomb threats, harrass them with thretening phone calls
or whatever you deem fit, bloging is so passive, be more aggressive
Show them that this shit aint cool and Joe Strummers and the others memories are being insulted
Satchhi & Satchhi have hit an all time low (a benchmark in advertising)
Way to go"creative" team you should burn in hell, you filthy scum bags
I will never buy another Dr Marten product and urge all to boycot
PS
if you dont get the bad taste, your just a fuckin asshole!
kinda insulting there memory?... give me a fuckin break
I hope major lawsuits ensue and terminations come as a result.
It shows a total lack of imagination and is repugnant.
Do you think they ran it by Joe Strummers widow?
Aint illegal to use there images without represntation?
Even if they are public figures.
It sickens me!

Guest's picture

what the HELL.
For starters Sid Vicious was an anachist,
And he was against everything, exept smack, and nancy.
He wasnt for advertising, or heaven.
This is just low,
Leave sid alone, he's with his baby now, thats what matters.
JUST FUCKING LEAVE HIM ALONE.

Guest's picture

This is the most distasteful fucking shit I have ever seen and who ever thought this was a good idea should be given a lobotomy with an ice pick.
Fucking disrespectful assholes do you really think that by exploiting the memory of these guys you'll make more sales how fucking stupid can you be. you can be sure you've received the last dollar you ever will from me. What a bunch of fucking vultures I hope they all rot in hell.

amber gash's picture
