Doc Martens dead punks

Friday, May 25, 2007

Famous U.K. based footware maker Dr. Martens has fired the ad agency responsible for the recently unveiled print / poster campaign featuring deceased punks Kurt Cobain, Sid Vicious, Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer. The posters, created by Saatchi & Saatchi London, depicted the iconic personalities as angels wearing the famous boots.



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, says a statement from the shoemakers.



An earlier article claimed that the images have been cleared for use in the U.K. only, in an arrangement with Corbis (the supplier of the original photographs). The images were created enhanced by photographer Dimitri Daniloff and retoucher Christophe Huet.

Odd, I thought the Ramones wore Chuck Taylors.
