Doc Martens can suck it

You gotta love Kurt Cobain, who doesn’t, right? Nirvana was the biggest name in Seattle grunge.

So why are these clowns at Doc Martens are taking dead rock stars and photoshopping them into their dumb boots?!?? Bad PR move, retard.

“Dr. Martens is very sorry for any offense that has been caused by the publication of images showing dead rock icons wearing Dr. Martens boots,” the company said in a statement to E! Online. “Dr. Martens did not commission the work as it runs counter to our current marketing activities based on FREEDM, which is dedicated to nurturing grass roots creativity and supporting emerging talent.

Dumb dumb dumb…even though UK law will allow you to use the photos, maybe sheer class should’ve won out in the end?

Update: They apologized.

    I had not seen this, but just wow. I would hate to be in any meeting where THAT was the best idea.

    Exactly! Who came up with this hair-brained idea? It’s stupid and disrespectful.
