Sorry- bad taste to be standing on someone’s gravestone. However funny the name may be, it’s a no-no.
Wow, I’ve never been offended by something on BME before.
First time for everything, I guess.
haha. You people are insane. Those people are dead, I’m sure they don’t give a shit, and they’re families weren’t around to protest.
The shots were for a website that sells t shirts with pictures of funny graves on them. http://www.deadissues.com
I agree with the first two comments.
why doesnt she have pants on?
i love this. i agree with 3!
jajaja, i’m agree with the 3th and 6th…. the 5th… ok, but, i don’t care…………… the others: FUCK YOUR SELF
i love it
FUCKING HATE THIS.
Bad taste and not really all that clever. Oo, a grave with the word “beaver” on it! Jeeeeeesh.
We’re maybe over-empathetic and sympathetic towards the family/ies, Cupcake, but we’re not insane.
If she had pants on, I’d probably be laughing. I’ve done some pretty disrespectful things in graveyards, myself (climbing on tombstones, using tombstones as ashtrays, stealing flowers, etc.) but this kind of bothers me.
Then again, they ARE dead, so it’s not really hurting them. But what if someone who knew them saw these pictures and recognized the tombstones?
I don’t know. I guess I’d say it’s in bad taste, but it’s not too horrible.
Not cute (girl is cute, not the graveyard disrespect). Better than cock torture photos though 😉
You have no idea who that person is, how they lived or died and you definately don’t know how they would feel about you useing their grave stone as advertisement for a god damn clothing line. Just because that person is no longer alive does not mean you have the right to disrepect them. If that was my mother’s grave you were squating on I’d make sure you never see the light of day again.
Am I the only one that grew up giggling and being scared in graveyards?
They aren’t causing any property damage, so I think its harmless.
What difference would it make if she had pants on?
It looks like she’s about to take a dump, Andrew. Yuck.
comon if anyone walked by those gravestones..theyd smile or giggle a little…dont give her a hard time…if she was half naked sitting on a different gravestone without the silly names im sure everyone would be saying ‘sooo hot’
Bad vibes
My fiance died four months ago, and if I ever manage to gather the courage to go visit his grave again and saw this happening it would make me feel like shit. I can’t speak for everyone, and maybe the families of these particular people wouldn’t mind so much. It would hurt me pretty badly though.
I, for one, much prefer the cock torture photos.
I don’t mind posing *with* gravestones- whatever… It takes a lot to offend me, as (obviously) I’m reading modblog. But STANDING on someone’s gravestone is disrespectful and unnecessary. No, nix that, I think it’s fucking disgusting.
Like #11 said- If you were standing on my mother’s stone, I’d kick your fucking ass. Maybe not- I’d probably want to, but maybe I’d just call the police and sue you.
And to whoever says that they can’t care because they are dead, that is EXACTLY why we should care. Care for those (alive or dead) who cannot care for themselves. There are many cultures around the world, with varying customs, but I cannot think of one offhand that would sanction standing on a memorial.
I prefer the Kuntz photo. She looks more relaxed, as opposed to the strange neck angle on the other.
Good photos!
And you can’t sue someone just cause she’s standing on a headstone…
I read a slight bit of cupcakes blog and I can certainly say I am not afraid of death in any sort YET I AM COMPLETELY disgusted with the fact you are squatting half naked on someones mother/father/sister/brother/etc…Just because they aren’t here to tell you themselves you damn well should respect the fact they probably wouldn’t want you on there final resting place!
Thank you JustJen “you can’t sue someone just cause she’s standing on a headstone…” And Phalaeo “There are many cultures around the world, with varying customs, but I cannot think of one offhand that would sanction standing on a memorial.” Some cultures eat the dead, do you think they would give a fuck if someone stood on a grave marker?? Probably not. Cultures come and cultures go, they are dead get over it.
I have to agree with 1,2, & 11.
Standing on someone’s gravestone is disrespectful. They may be dead, but obviously those people meant something enough to someone to be buried.
My grandmother and close friend ofmine died within 2 months of each other, and if I ever saw someone standing on their gravestone I’d break their legs.
Leaning on and posing with like in the second pic doesn’t really bother me, though.
And saying that just because they’re dead they don’t care and it shouldn’t matter because their families were not around to protest is amazingly disrespectful…
Some cultures eat their dead because they believe that the soul and memory of the dead are also consumed with the flesh. By this act, the deceased goes through a holy death, their memory lives on in the individuals that have eaten the body. I’m sure if you interrupted one of these ceremonies by trying to sell people shirts they’d get mighty angry.
Yes cultures will come and go but are you going to go and destroy the pyramids? Are you going to go take a leak on the ruins of Tikal or the dead bodies in Pompeii? Getting over and letting go of these civilisations and their culture would be a great lost to humanity, that’s why the schools teach History.
I just don’t understand the point of getting offended and worked up over it. But, whatever, everyone’s different. Doesn’t bother me; I think it’s funny.
That’s kind of terrible.
“Some cultures eat the dead, do you think they would give a fuck if someone stood on a grave marker?? Probably not. Cultures come and cultures go, they are dead get over it.”
What do you mean, “get over it”. Um, no. Will I go to sleep soundly in my bed tonight- yes. Will I go to work tomorrow- yes. This isn’t going to change my life, I’m just telling you how I feel, which is that it’s disrespectful.
And as far as some cultures eating their dead— that’s not what I said and that really has nothing to do with the conversation. I said something about *most* cultures not allowing the desecration of burial sites. Every culture has their own mores which we should respect. Our culture (don’t get me started on a whole sociological discourse I’ll add the qualifier “in general”) finds it very disrespectful to stand on a grave. You also are not qualifying your statement about cannibalism to separate cultural cannibalism from survivalist cannibalism and you have not told me what tribe/culture you have in mind and what part cannibalism plays *in their burial rituals*, which is what we are really talking about here. Don’t turn an apple into an orange.
If you want to try to impress me with your worldly knowledge of cultures eating their dead- great, but also show that you respect western rules an mores in regards to our dead. Respect of all cultures starts at home.
StabbyLOVE in post 22 said it rather concisely esp. the second paragraph.
“And you can’t sue someone just cause she’s standing on a headstone…”
Yes you can- it is private property- the grave site is a piece of land that you own. I could start by suing for trespassing. Depending on what they were doing there, I could continue through a whole line of offenses.
Likely, I’d just go up and give the person a piece of my mind and tell them if they don’t move, I’ll call the cops. I’d still want to break their legs, but there’s enough violence in the world and I’m just a short chick.
My dog does innuendo better than this and all he does is sit and stare at things.
Thanks for your opinions. I guess I could be sued, but Im sure I would come to terms with whomevers relatives I offended. I generally dont do things on the graves, but hey…that Beaver one I just couldnt help myself. Personally, I would want people to just show up at my grave. Make yourself comfortable, sit down on my rock if you want. But all in all, death is part of life…and sometimes its silly and weird. Bah…
To #15.. I don’t know about you, but If I ever have cause to be in a graveyard, I would not be in the giggling or laughing mood. If you go to a cemetery and the tombstone “Beaver” makes you giggle. You’re fucking shallow, idiotic and dense.
And yes, very disrespectful to be standing on a gravestone. It’s not about the deceased, it’s about how OBVIOUSLY someone has taken the time, money and care to make sure that person is known and remembered. You come along and squat on it cuz you think it’s a cute picture and fun to wear your ignorance on your sleeve.
And no, being offended by these photos does not mean anyone’s afraid of death. That is the most irrational line of reasoning I’ve come across yet. Way to go.
You guys do know that a headstone is basically just a rock, right?
People put way too much stock into objects.
i’m with #17 on this. before my dad died, i would’ve been all for it. now, it would make me a hypocrit saying that i didn’t care about photos like these, because even now, six years later, i would throw some fuckin’ ‘bows if i saw someone disrespecting my father’s grave.
Hey guys, did you know a word is just a bunch of shapes?
I gotta agree with those who find this in bad taste – cause I do as well. She’s a cutie,but just because she doesn’t respect the dead,doesn’t mean that we have to go along with her,and say that it’s cool,because it isn’t. If I ever caught anyone
fucking around with any of my familes graves,I’d make them regret it. Sorry,but NOT COOL.
I would like to point out that I’m also offended by the poor composition and iron-on quality of the shirts being sold.
You can actually sue someone for standing on a headstone. In Australia anyway. When a grave is made for someone, it is classified as a small block of land owned by the payer.
I recently had a discussion with a family friend who’s son had died. He treats that grave with the most amazing respect and love. This IS seriously the first, and only picture, to ever offend my on Modblog.
You can say all you want about freedom, all you want about this doesn’t matter, but it does. These two graves are someone’s family. Someone’s friends. And to turn them into an object of humour, is in such bad taste it makes me feel ill.
My father died in March. We scattered his ashes. But even still, if anyone were to desecrate the area we scattered them, I would make it my duty to find them and absolutely kill them.
Fuck the dead.
I don’t think it’s right to that and PROFIT from it… the families should be asked in advance.
wow thats just wrong
if i saw someone doing that to someone i knews grave they’d be told off, threatened with the cops, and id put in a complaint with the grave yard
if someone cares enough to spend that much money on burying their loved ones body (grave stones arent cheap, especially the above ground level type)
of course cost of burial doesnt equal love
but still i doubt someone would spend that kind of money on someone they didnt love
and the shirts are just stupid (i looked on the site)
HAHA!! SOMEONES LAST NAME IS BEAVER/FAKE/DOLL/…….
Oh yeah, and apparently Australian civil law sucks.
agree with 11
Pah. Dead people are dead – they don’t care. What’s with this weird respect for gravestones and stuff?
(NB. I grew up with doctors. To me, once someone dies their corpse is just a hunk of interesting meat. I don’t normally have much respect for the dead).
How unbelievably disrespectful.
wow, something tasteless being posted on modblog who’d a thunk it
“I’m sure they don’t give a shit, and they’re families weren’t around to protest.” Wow, that’s the kind of statement that’s too immature to reason with. And I agree with 43, the idea isn’t really very clever or funny.
i really don’t agree with this or like it at all.
but if it makes anyone feel better, perhaps these headstones are not yet in use? it doesn’t look like they have any other writing on them, and sometimes, at least in Aus, people sort of “reserve” a spot for when they go. They have a headstone in place with their last name on it, and when they do pass on, at that time the extra details get added. . .
this may make it a little less unacceptable (sorry for the double negative, but i didn’t want to write that it may make it a little more ACCEPTABLE, because it really isn’t acceptable at all)
i think it is def still very wrong, and not cool at all.
the whole idea is not even funny – quite immature.
that´s what i thought too. i guess these gravestones aren´t used ones. i hope so at least.
OK although the Micheal is right about grave plots being in some cases classified as private property, it is impossible to take any form of tortious action against individuals who trespass in the manner exhibited above. In order for an individual to be charged with trespass they must be warned of the illegality of their actions by the owner of the property or a police officer. If they should return within 24 hours of this warning they have committed a crime under the Trespass Act section 7. If they are issued an official warning by the court they will not be allowed to return to the area in contention for a year. The penalty for a breach of this law is 20 penalty units. I see three issues from a legal perspective in prosecuting in regards to this matter. Firstly the owners of the land will not have had the opportunity to indicate whether or not they find the above action intrusive. Secondly the individual above will only have to refrain from entering the site for 25 hours. Thirdly as graves for the most part are private facilities which are open to the public various other common law and statutory principles will convolute any initial proceedings.
The best way to prevent this individual from committing similar acts in the future would be to send this photo to the managers of the various gave sites she has been defiling. Their immediate reaction would be to issue her with an official warning. Pending this they would be able to forcibly remove her from their premises.
